Comment #2 on 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
OS: Windows XP, 5.1.2600 SP3 about.plugins: Adobe Acrobat File name: nppdf32.dll Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape I can't find a plugin for Foxit. I can't seem to find a version number on that entry. It is the same for Firefox - the plugin is there. However, in Options->Applications, it states "PDF Document": Action "Use Foxit Reader, Best Read..". I can apparently also choose "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" from a dropdown there. Foxit launches when I click a pdf file in Windows Explorer. Foxit also launches when I click a pdf file in Firefox. In C:/Program files/Adobe, there is a Acrobat/Reader/ActiveX dir which is empty. I _had_ no idea how that plugin-thing is still there, I am certain that I de-installed Acrobat at some point, but I just checked Add/remove programs, and for some annoying reason I find Adobe Reader 8.1.0 there. I now wonder whether it might at some point have been installed along with Photoshop CS or some other app?! When checking Start->All Programs, I do actually find Adobe Reader 8.. However, when clicking it, a windows installer dialog thing starts, and then whines about "Please wait while installer configures Adobe Acrobat 8". This might be a clue?! It has been like this from the get-go with Chrome - I installed it the day you launched it with the cartoon-stuff, and it didn't work with pdfs from the start. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
