pdf files don't display in mozilla and firefox

[Macintyre, Ross A]

I take it you mean mozplugger, and not moplugger? And this site is down
by the way.

The thing is when I look at the plugins installed (Help/About Plug-ins)
it tells me that mozplugger 1.7.3 is there, so what good is it going to
be to check this website.

Or are you saying that I should install the latest mozplugger.

I have a lot of people relying on getting this right so I don't want to
mess up.

 

What I do notice is that looking at the plugins it suggests that
mozplugger already handles pdf files AND Adobe Reader 7.0 handles them
too!

So (as a newbie to mozplugger) I thought I'd try and see if editing
/etc/mozpluggerrc and commenting out the pdf entries would change things
and let the Adobe Reader 7.0 ones work instead. But the pdf mozplugger
entries are still there! This didn't make any difference.

 

What I haven't said is that at one time I tried running
/usr/lib/acroread/Browser/install_browser_plugin and it did work!

I then changed something and now it doesn't.

I have a lab of 100 machines and they are all configured the same way. I
thought I could figure out what
/usr/lib/acroread/Browser/install_browser_plugin did and then copy it
round all the machines but I haven't figured it out yet.

 

When this site comes on-line again I will have a look.

 

Ross

I've installed everything from the FC5 distribution and some extras.
I've installed mozilla-acroread.
Now I notice I can't view pdf files.
Acroread is also installed.

machine1<515> rpm -qa|grep acroread 
mozilla-acroread-7.0.5-2.2.fc5.rf
acroread-7.0.5-2.2.fc5.rf

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks ina advance,
Ross
