Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and I can confirm this problem. I have to
kill the npviewer.bin process so I can reload the page and the pdf can
be seen again. There's no way to kill the acroread process, nothing will
kill it.

No, unless you have installed the files in different locations, you don't
need to export the other two variables; of course, being explicit wouldn't

The short answer is: yes.
