I cannot view PDFs using Firefox in Etch (Testing). I get:
"There was an error while loading the plugin - ewh.api. The plugin
failed to initialize."
I have these packages installed:
acroread 7.0.5-0.0
mozilla-acroread 7.0.5-0.0
According to http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Acrobat:
Adobe Reader Version: 7.0.5
1. Install Adobe Reader.
2. Create a symbolic link to nppdf.so to your Mozilla plugins directory.
3. Ensure a copy of acroread is in your PATH.
On my system:
2. /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/pluginsnppdf.so is a symlink to
/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
3. Acroread is in my path since I can launch it from a terminal window
with the command 'acroread'.
According to Acroread Help -> About Adobe Plugins, ewh is loaded. There
is a note to say that that the Netscape plugin is required for loading
(this seems to be the nppdf.so file above).
Any suggestions?
Chris.
