Is Adobe Reader XPDF?, if so then I have it and that's what causing the problem. Don't have plugins for FF, or at least not to my knowledge. If you have to add them after installation then I don't have them as I haven't touched it.

No, xpdf is a different application. The command for Adobe Reader is acroread. To see if you have it installed, type in the command line prompt:

which acroread

If the answer is "No acroread in: ....", it's not installed. Install it, the latest version is Adobe Reader 7 for Linux. You may find the previous version (Adobe acrobat reader for Linux 5.x) much faster, though it's not as pretty. For both versions, there must be Mandriva rpms around (perhaps in contrib?). I installed the version from Adobe website, works just fine for me.

 

Thanks for this...I'm on it right now.

You fantastic person...I have version 7 installed right now..oh boy!.. and can print in landscape to fit the page etc. I can hardly believe it. And so simple, the Adobe site did all the work, great.

 

Many many thanks
