Comment #65 on issue 19587 by garretwcox: Chromium Fails to call adobe to
open PDFs files
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19587
mozplugger works.
It didn't at first though. The problem was that it was still using the
adobe plugin.
When I looked at about:plugins I saw that the adobe plugin was actually
listed
twice...once above mozplugger and once below.
Anyway, I determined that the first entry was referencing the file
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
deleting this file made mozplugger the default pdf handler, and things
worked great
from there.
btw, the second entry referenced /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nppdf.so
I left this file intact (in the hopes firefox would use it, just in case
I'm in
firefox at some point) but if your plugins load up in a different order
from mine,
you might have to delete this file instead/as well.
summary:
echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/setack/stuff/ubuntu karmic main' >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install mozplugger
rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so
