I'm also using Etch 2.6.15-i686. I have nppdf.so in my ~/.mozilla/plugins/

in Firefox. Why not give that a try.
Replacing the symlink with a copy does not work either:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4750331 2006-04-21 09:38 nppdf.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2006-01-28 15:59 nppdf.so.old ->
../../Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
Which version of the mozilla-acroread package are you running?
Hi Chris,
I'm using Adobe Reader 7.0 plugin. Also the plugin lives in my home
directory in the .mozilla/plugins folder
not /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
try typing "about:plugins" (without the quotes)in the firefox navigation bar
and see if it has installed the plugin. If it's seeing it, it should appear
in the list of plugins.
Yes, its there:
Adobe Reader 7.0
File name: nppdf.so
The Adobe Reader plugin is used to enable viewing of PDF and FDF
files from within the browser.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/pdf Portable Document Format pdf Yes
application/vnd.fdf Acrobat Forms Data Format fdf Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xfdf XML Version of Acrobat Forms Data Format
xfdf Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml Acrobat XML Data Package xdp Yes
application/vnd.adobe.xfd+xml Adobe FormFlow99 Data File xfd Yes
Now here's a strange thing. The plugin is provided by the
mozilla-acroread package. The package description includes this:
This package contains the plugin for a www-browser like
mozilla/firefox/galeon/konqueror
The plugin works fine in konquereor, but not in firefox, mozilla,
epiphany or galeon which all have the 'plug-in failed to initialize'
error in an Adobe Reader dialogue box. So perhaps the problem lies with
mozilla/gecko? I suppose that I could purge and reinstall mozilla, but
that seems a bit heavy-handed. The other thing that I might try is
installing Adobe Reader from a tarball. I suspect that this is what you
did as you do not have the mozilla-acroread package installed. Is that
right?
Cheers,
Chris.
