Package: chromium
Version: 12.0.742.91~r87961-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
weird problems with PDF and mozplugger.
(actually, I don't know if the problem affects only PDF or also other/all
mozplugger supported formats as well).
mozplugger works just fine with any other browser, *INCLUDING chrome*, of
course if I disable it's "internal" plugin!!! :o
(google-chrome-stable 12.0.742.100-r88853)
With chromium, if mozplugger is enabled, opening a pdf (for instance, links
on "arxiv", like: http://arxiv.org/pdf/0806.2400v1 ) will result in chromium
reporting a "missing plugin" error (if I disable mozplugger, opening the same
URL would results in pdf file download).
I've also tried some mozplugger config tricks that I've found suggested on
the 'net:
### Acrobat Reader
#define(ACROREAD, [repeat swallow(acroread) fill : acroread -openInNewWindow /a
"$fragment" "$file"])
# original, don't work
#define(ACROREAD, [repeat needs_xembed swallow(acroread) fill : acroread
-openInNewWindow /a "$fragment" "$file"])
# don't work either
define(ACROREAD, [repeat swallow(acroread) fill needs_xembed : acroread
-openInNewWindow /a "$fragment" "$file"])
# don't work either
(and also to let it open the pdf "externally", without "swallow", etc).
Same thing.
Apparently mozplugger is correctly recognized by chromium:

BTW: why does it says: "handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin"?!
what about all the other countless content types supported by mozplugger???
(nevertheless, same thing on google-chrome).
Eventually, I've been able to view pdf using the "copy libpdf.so from chrome"
trick, but I would definitely prefer to be able to use mozplugger and choose
whatever pdf viewer I like!
Most of all I'd like to open them in a separate viewer window *outside* the
browser, as I do with other browsers (using mozplugger).
