Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acroread
Probably an nspluginwrapper problem. This is a massive pain in the arse
to "normal users" because there is no obvious way to "download" the PDF
for offline viewing, especially in these crap virtual learning
environments that never give you real links to documents anyway.
I suggest if this is reproducable by everyone (it's certainly been that
way on both my AMD64 machines in my time), that we drop the
nspluginwrapper and deal with the fact that acroread's browser plugin
does not work on AMD64, allowing the browser to download the file and
open it locally.
