Turn on USE-Flag "nsplugin" for app-text/acroread if you like Adobe |
| 8 |
Reader. I use xpdf, because acroread takes ages to load. For this to |
| 9 |
work I added xpdf as handler for the "application/pdf" MIME-type to the |
| 10 |
list of helper applications. It should be somewhere in the preferences. |

xpdf. I start acroread only when xpdf displays the file incorrectly. |
