Description Need Real Name 2003-04-11 18:24:05 EDT

Description of problem:

Plugger does not seem to open PDF files correctly even though /etc/pluggerrc
contains the correct applications for the task.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

plugger-4.0-23

Acrobat5
xpdf-2.01-8

How reproducible:

Every time it is attempted.

2.
3.
    
Actual results:

I get a motif-like embedded white window in the browser with the text : 

Plugger: No appropriate application for type application/pdf found!

Expected results:

The PDF document ought to open normally.

Additional info:

/etc/pluggerrc is attached.

Created attachment 91087 [details]
/etc/pluggerrc

The situation is not changed even if I delete $HOME/.mozilla and do a clean
start, thereby forcing mozilla to read the new plugins from this file.

Comment 2 Ngo Than 2003-04-23 07:30:42 EDT

You have modified the pluggerrc. It's broken! Please use the pluggerrc from RHL 9. 

For running Acrobat5, you have to make a symlink in /usr/bin.
ln -sf /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /usr/bin/acroread

After that it should work fine.
