Its also something I have tried to configure. The easy answer is that if you
have mozplugger installed, it exists in /etc/mozpluggerrc.
The hard part of the answer is that here's the code:
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
repeat swallow(documentShell) fill: acroread -geometry +9000+9000
+useFrontEndProgram "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"
repeat noisy swallow(gv) fill: gv --safer --quiet --antialias
-geometry+9000+9000 "$file"
While I see acroread, xpdf and gv are all supported, I only get xpdf to run.
And I have no understanding as to why, as I have had acroread on my machine
for years.
