as you can see, i am running the freeBSD OS. i have a gnome desktop. i
usually run firefox browser (i note that gnome has built in browser called
ephinany). i am dissatisfied with the fact that if i browse to a webpage
that contains pdf content that i am forced to save the file.
there seems to be an indigenous application that fires up when i double
click the file. it is called evince 0.6.1 postScript and PDF File viewer
using poppler 0.5.4 (cairo). if i need to install something new that is
fine, but i want to have some embedded application that
will view pdf content "in situ" instead of this cumbersome operation.
i posted that on a site called experts-exchange and got
this response:
danielcc:
if you are just viewing them from a search engine you can tell google to
let them view as html which is nice... something else thats nice that you
might be interested in is the firefox pdf veiwer plug in
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636 ... you should just
have to click open and view the file
this is not feeling right to me. any advice?
