   The problem is is when I want to view a .pdf page on the web the helper runs and then says appropiate plugin not installed. I tried this on 2 *nix boxes and had the same results.  How do I get ggv to load in Mozilla? I hate Adobe anyways. Thanks!

I saw this one and tried to fool around with it so I could give you some feedback. My office machine is still on RH8, so I downloaded what I thought was the rpm for the *.pdf plugin for mozilla. It installed the plugin into /usr/lib/mozilla and in that it did nothing. When I made a symlink to it from within /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1 it was starting to seg fault mozilla. I could not stop this from happening until I removed the rpm from the system. Now I am back to normal. I like ggv for *.pdf's, how come you don't want mozilla to just open ggv when you want to view a *.pdf? Or, if you need to have this new version of Adobe 5.07, why not just have mozilla open this?

When I try to load a pdf in mozilla the helper runs but the pdf never loads. What is the trick to getting this to work?  Thanks
