Make sure that the acroread executable is in your path somewhere. Type "which acroread" at a shell prompt and if it tells you "no acroread in: [long list of directories in your path]" that's probably your problem. Type "locate bin/acroread" to see where it is, then create a sym-link from the executable to some directory in your path: $ locate bin/acroread /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread $ln -s /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /usr/bin/ Then try loading a pdf in Mozilla again. As an alternative, you could install mozplugger, and use xpdf to view pdf files from inside Mozilla (assuming you have xpdf installed). That's what I prefer, as xpdf loads quite a bit faster than acroread. -- -John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx)
