VeeDubb Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Okay,I'm sure that non-n00bs will be thougholy un-impressed by this tip, but I just realized that mozilla has a ful function Adobe acrobat reader plugin, unlike ghost view or others that have half-assed adobe support at best, that means you can just open acrobat files with mozila.

DragonMage Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 That's the first time I heard of it.. Whenever I open a pdf file with mozilla, it opens adobe's own acrobat reader to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 That's my point, I kept trying to use gohst view and what not to view pfd's whitch stinks. I didn't realize there was an actual Adobe version of reader in mozilla. As I said, onbody with ANY linux experience would find this interesting, but I am a n00b and was fealing left out when it came to pdf's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 AFAIK, it only recently came out (the plugin), but it is cool. Even though Netscape was my least favorite browser in Windows, it is my favorite browser in Linux. Netscape 7 has AIM/ICQ and the adobe plugin (all mozilla plugins work in it, if I understand correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 You know it's funny, I never liked it in Windows either, but it is my bread and butter browser in linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fubar::chi Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 that's cause stuff on windows just inherently sucks. Look at photoshop on OS X compared to photoshop on windows (not just looks, performace). Even games run better natively on linux than they do on windows.

VeeDubb Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 YEah, it's too bad there isn't a native linux version of photoshop. GIMP is good, but it's not photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 You mean netscape or mozilla? Mozilla for windows is actually very good (it's my primary browser) but I tried netscape for windows and you are right.. it is not that great.

Guest fubar::chi Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 since he has an aim plugin i'm guessing it's mozilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I used both in windows, but I always fell beck to explorer. Don't know why, it just seemed better at the time. Now I've got 6 browsers installed and Mozzilais my favorite by miles. I guess I just never gave it a fair chance in windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
