Hello,
90% of the time when I open a pdf file from firefox the document does not appear in the right window (I mean not in the firefox window, but in side any window), ie that I do not have any control on the document position !! How can it be fixed ?
In fact the problem comes from evince
My understanding is that evince does not operate as a plugin, as the Adobe Acrobat reader can/does (at least, under Windows).
If you can find a PDF reader that can act as a plugin to firefox, under Linux, you should be able to accomplish what you want to do.
Okular is a multi-format reader and works as a plugin. It is a kde application, so will require some libraries.
I use Okular, but it doesn't embed the doc in a FF tab. It opens a new tab (my FF is set to open new pages in a separate tab) and then displays the doc in its own window outside FF. The new tab is empty and useless. I don't know if any of this is configurable.
---- My experience with Adobe_Reader_enu suggests that this is preferred behavior because it operates in its own memory space instead of within Firefox which has been problematic. I have been known to install Adobe_Reader and remove the FF plugin just to get that behavior.
