Acrobat5 plugins in Netscape 4.7

[shankar_3]

Hi Experts,

How to start the Acrobat plugins in Netsacpe.

In C-class Box we loaded 11i & Ideas application too. Now from ideas all users want to start HELP libraries by invoke the netsacpe. After this netscape should call this Portable Data Format files automatically. But here very first time we have to set the path of acrobat5.

Instead of is there any way to set the PATH globally to starting Acrocat5 in netscape for all users.

cheers,
Shankar Ganesh

Hi,

you have to do link to acroread plugin from netscape plugin dir.

Look for acrobat plugin file nppdf.so

For my linux system is link
ln -s /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/lib/netscape/plugin/nppdf.so

I have never installed Acroread on HPUX but in my opinion the method is the same.

Hello,

Before starting Netscape, set these variables :

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Acrobat/bin

export NPX_PLUGIN=/opt/Acrobat/Browsers/hppahpux
