Is the acroread7 plugin for Firefox currently functional? I can run acroread as a stand-alone program, but not as a plugin. If I check "about:plugins" acroread is recognized as a plugin. I'm asking here because the Linux Base is under significant development, so I'm wondering whether this problem is known and being postponed until the Linux Base is more stable. The symptom is that I get "running helper", but little disk activity (program not loaded). I created a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread7 and then I get much longer disk activity, enough that I see the acroread program icon change, indicating it has loaded, but I still don't see the associated PDF content in my browser or anywhere else. FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0 with SMP kernel acroread7-7.0.1,1 acroreadwrapper-0.0.20060221 linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_2 (with its /etc/libmap.conf file) firefox-1.5.0.3,1 plugger-5.1.3_1 plugger-plugins-hubbe-5.0_8 I've read the configuration comments by Beech Rintoul around December. Thanks for any suggestions.
