No. The problem probably comes from your computer. I cannot reproduce it on my Linux box, where I have also: extension pdf, MIME type: application/pdf, helper: /usr/bin/acroread "%F" Notice that the message line found at the bottom of XXE main window shows you which command is executed. Try to execute exactly the same command from a terminal. Example: ~$ /usr/bin/acroread "/u/nobili/tmp/RADON_master.pdf" & -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
