Tested with Ubuntu 11.10 x64 (like the orginial report) in a virtual machine. Since Firefox now uses PDF.js by default, the Adobe plug-in was activated by opening about:config and setting pdfjs.disabled=true.
Unfortunately the bug still exists. The strings found in the plug-in are still there, and the file "C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt" is still created when the plug-in loads. $ strings /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so | grep -i debug UnixDebugWriteToFile C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt ACRODEBUG ACRO_NPPDF_DEBUG_FILE $ dpkg -l | grep acroread ii acroread 9.5.4-1oneiric1 Adobe Reader ii acroread-common 9.5.4-1oneiric1 Adobe Reader - Common Files $ LANG=en_US apt-cache policy acroread acroread: Installed: 9.5.4-1oneiric1 Candidate: 9.5.4-1oneiric1 Version table: *** 9.5.4-1oneiric1 0 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/partner amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986841 Title: Debug log created by Adobe Reader browser plugin (nppdf.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/986841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
