Does it show up as a Helper? It may be necessary to set this up manually. Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications then either edit the "application/pdf" entry if it exists or add it if not. The settins I use are: Description : Portable Document Format MIMEType : application/pdf Siffixes : pdf and in the "Handled By" panel; select the "Plug In:" radio buton and "nppdf.so" from the drop-own list. HTH FWIW, my RealPlayer plugin is in ~/.netscape/plugins and that works as well. > The problem is that Acrobat never shows up as a plugin.
