Oops!! No, it is an Adobe problem. The properties of file nppdf32.dll in SeaMonkey's plugins folder indicate "Adobe Acrobat" although the version number (11.0.3.37) and SHA1 hash clearly make this an Adobe Reader file. The nppdf32.dll for Adobe Acrobat on my PC has version number 7.0.9.50. In short, Adobe has misidentified nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader as being for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Concerned about someone (e.g., the government) snooping into your E-mail? Use PGP.
