 Posted: Sun May 14, 2006 12:05 pm Post subject: Konqueror acroread nsplugin does not seem to work |
 |
|
| When using the acroread nsplugin to view pdfs embedded into konqueror, acroread loads and I believe the page is there, but only the top left 100x100 pixels appear to be rendered: The konqueror tab is mostly grey with a little square box in the top left hand corner in which you can see the adobe "hand" grab icon and if you right click you can get the adobe context menu. I'm certain I've had the plugin working before but can't remember what I've changed. Most likely it was an upgrade of Konqueror to 3.5.2. Any ideas? |

same problem here with konqueror-3.5...
intresting is that when I resize konqueror window acrobat slava gets resized to fill all the space...
PS
i tried every 7.x.x acroread version...
sad it is that at the moment I am compiling konqueror-3.5.2, because i belived it'll solve my problem...

Interesting... I am not alone! And the resizing thing points the finger firmly toward a coding error. I'm going to file a bug on the Gentoo bugzilla and see what happens.
EDIT: Added the bug: BUG |

| why do you want to use acroread in kde? Kpdf is a far better pdf reader in my opinion - just have a look at the many redundant libraries acroread installs in /opt .. |

AFAIK kpdf seems broken, it always segfaults...

KPDF has no rotate option as far as I can see. Several PDF's I use regularly on the web are (annoyingly) written rotated by 90 degrees. To avoid neck strain, I rotate them back with acrobat  Also, I use alot of PDFs with maths symbols in and Acrobat renders them properly while sometimes KPDF doesn't manage (although this is usually only with older pdfs, more than about 2 years old). |
