I'm inquiring about getting Solar Panels installed and the company has
sent me an e-mail with three attachments.
One is a PNG photo of my roof with the panels installed ... no problems.
The other two are ".pdf"'s but, when I click on either, the mouse
thingie rotates for a bit .... and then nothing happens! No new tab
opens, no offer to save the file to disk, nothing!!
Looking at Tools->Add-on Manager, it says I have "Adobe Acrobat" set to
"Always Activate" and then, underneath, it says "Adobe PDF Plug-In For
Firefox and Netscape 11.0.19"
Should I have run this through the SeaMonkey converter thingie or do I
have some other problem?? Or do I have to save the pdf's to the HD and
then look at them outside of SM??
Although it's good practice to save attachments before opening them, you
need not do so.
Look under
Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications
(I find it convenient to maximize the dialog, YMMV)
and you will see several entries for handling PDF files (because
websites serve them under several MIME types). For each one, there is a
button hiding a pull-down list of options: Always ask, Save file, Use
Adobe Acrobat (default), etc., depending on what you have installed on
your system.
I noticed just now that since the upgrade to 2.46, some of these are set
to "Use," which is meaningless since it doesn't specify what to use.
This is probably what happened to you -- SM disabled the plugin that I
had specified, and as a result it doesn't know what to do. Change these
to a valid option and you should be fine.
