I see the following > Adobe Acrobat > > File: nppdf32.dll,nppdf32.dll,nppdf32.dll > Path: > C:\Acrobat\Reader\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll,C:\Acrobat\Reader\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll,C:\SeaMonkey2\plugins\nppdf32.dll > Version: 11.0.3.37 > State: Enabled > Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.03 Although it says "Adobe Acrobat", which is the writer, all three paths are for Adobe Reader. The path for the actual Adobe Acrobat plugin is C:\Acrobat\Writer\Acrobat\Browser\nppdf32.dll. I just now checked the three DLL files using SHA1 hash codes. While the second and third paths point to identical DLL files, the first path's file is different. None of the three are identical to the DLL file for the actual Adobe Acrobat. Renaming the first to be x-nppdf32.dll-x and then copying the nppdf32.dll from the second path into the first, the order of the paths in about:plugins changed. However, PDF files still opened in an Adobe Reader window. I also got the same problem after disabling and then enabling the plugin. -- David E.
