[NTLUG:Discuss] Acrobat Reader & Netscape

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

Your Netscape is probably preloading incompatible libraries.   I did get the
nppdf.so plugin working with netscape-mdk4.61-stable (something like that) on
rpmfind.net.

If you just want a helper, xpdf works fine.

go to Edit|Preferences, choose Navigator|Applications, then choose New

Here are the field values I use...
Description: Adobe
MIME TYpe: application/pdf
Sufixes: pdf

Then below that choose application and use
/usr/local/bin/adobe_reader %s

This will launch the adober reader with the file you chick on.
