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.
Initially the two settings (PDF file (application/pdf) and PDF file
(binary/octet-system)) were both set to "Always ask". I've change the
first to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in SeaMonkey)" and "OK"ed my way out.
But no change! Closed SM and re-started SM. No change!
I left the second pdf setting unchanged as "Always ask" as the other
option, "Save File", isn't what I'm after.
