Acrobat as a helper/plugin

[Christian van Enckevort <chris@warande1125.warande.uu.nl>]

Hi,

I am trying to get acroread and netscape to work together. It should be
possible to use acroread as a plugin (it is listed as a plugin for PDF in
netscape). However, if I select that plugin (nppdf.so, which apparently
should run acroread), netscape crashes when I try to view a PDF-file. In fact,
things are even worse: acroread does not even work as a helper application.
If I use 'acroread %s' as helper application for PDF and I try to view a
PDF-file, netscape indicates it is downloading the file. But after that
nothing happens. If I use 'xpdf %s' instead, it all works. However, xpdf
is not really an option for me as the quality is too poor.

If could not find this problem listed as a bug for either netscape or
acroread, so I am wondering if anybody got them to work together.

Thanks in advance,
