What a mess.... Here is what I went through: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\plugins\FoxitReaderOCX.ocx" is the path for x64. Here are the steps I had to take in Win7 x64: 1) Install Foxit Reader with firefox plugin (firefox already installed) 2) rename nppdf32.dll to nppdf32.dll.obsolete in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins 3) rename nppdf32.dll to nppdf32.dll.obsolete in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Browser 4) Create a Plugins directory in the same dir as chrome.exe which is -> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application 5) Copy npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\plugins to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins 6) regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\plugins\FoxitReaderOCX.ocx" 7) Restart Chrome and try on a pdf... it works after much trial and error in both ff and Chrome now. I think I had to do step 2 & 3 because I installed chrome before FF so it is possible that many people will be able to skip step 2 or 3. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
