I have the same problem when I embed evince onto firefox using mozillapluger. I found this is because evince snuffles file type according to the filename extension, but web plugins get web contents in a temp file without extension.
<br><br>one working around is add xpdf as the first option at<br>/etc/mozpluggerrc<br>e.g.<br><br>application/pdf:pdf:PDF file<br>application/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file<br>text/pdf:pdf:PDF file<br>text/x-pdf:pdf:PDF file<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; repeat noisy swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 &quot;$file&quot;
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince &quot;$file&quot;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ACROREAD()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; repeat noisy swallow(kpdf) fill: kpdf &quot;$file&quot;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GV()<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Since upgrading to fc5 firefox won't show pdf docs. I can<br>save the doc and open it in acroread, evince, etc.<br><br>When firefox tries to to show a pdf file I get an error window:<br><br>Unable to open document<br><br>
Unhandled MIME type: 'application/octet-stream'<br><br>I've messed with mozpluggerrc to use acroread, then I tried<br>evince. Same problem.<br><br>FWIW, x86_64.<br><br>Any help appreciated<br><br>sean<br><br>--<br>fedora-list mailing list
