Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 7559 by stolsvik: All pdf links yield "Could not launch Acrobat" warning-dialog upon click. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7559
Chrome Version : 1.0.154.48 URLs (if applicable) : All that points to a pdf Other browsers tested: Firefox, IE What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Click e.g. http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/pdfs/data/1998/153- 21/15321-14.pdf 2. Get seriously annoyed when a small stupid "error-box" comes popping up, which has title "Acrobat plug-in.", and which content is a yellow-warning- exclamation mark along with the words "Could not launch Acrobat", and a "OK" button. 3. Dismiss the dialog by either OK or Close, and watch the launching page become very dark grey (the favicon is then loaded normally, it appears). What is the expected result? That Foxit Reader (currently v.2.3) should launch with the PDF inside. What happens instead? That little error-dialog appears. Additional info: I've tried as best I can to get rid of Acrobat. I have no idea where Chrome believes "Acrobat plug-in." resides - there should not be anyone. Firefox launces Foxit correctly - it simply download the file normally, and then launch Foxit. The workaround is obviously to instead right-click, and download it, and then simply click it. However, on smart-ass "javascript-links", this workaround doesn't cut it, and I have to resort to launching Firefox. Also, I'm apparently not the only one experiencing it: My significant other, which is a scientist and thus read a boatload of pdfs daily, having her own laptop installed from her university (implying that I haven't messed it up!), experiences exactly the same. (Thus, she dismissed Chrome as a viable browser). Maybe this info has any correlation: JNLP files does not launch java - Chrome simply downloads the file, and then I have to click it. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
