[ILUG] Mozilla Firefox Plug ins

[david jamison]

Has anyone tried to add the mozilla plugin for Acrobat?

I did "exactly what it said on the tin"  namely;


      How do I install Acrobat Reader on Linux?

To install the Acrobat Reader plugin, copy nppdf.so to your Mozilla 
plugins directory, and make sure a copy of (or symlink to) acroread is 
in your PATH.

Note: If you do not know how to mess around with the PATH environment 
variable, there is a quick and easy fix. Simply create a symbolic link 
to acroread in a location that is in your path - /usr/X11R6/bin is a 
good place to put it. If you installed Acrobat Reader in 
/usr/local/Acrobat5, issue the following command at a terminal as root. 
Replace /usr/local/Acrobat5/ with your Acrobat Reader installation 
directory if you installed it somewhere else.

ln -s /usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread 
/usr/X11R6/bin/acroread

Result was a blank browser which I clicked on a link!!!
