Description Grant Gayed 2009-11-26 09:39:02 PST

Using WebKit 1.1.16 release, built from source on Ubuntu 9.10

I have the Adobe Reader 9.1 installed.  It has added nppdf.so to directory ~/.mozilla/plugins, and if I set PATH to point at the directory with the acroread executable then the plug-in works when navigating to a .pdf in Firefox.  However, navigating to a .pdf in WebKit's GtkLauncher example app just writes "DEBUG: NP_Initialize, DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded" to stdout a few times but does not show the document.  The same thing happens in my app that's embedding WebKit/GTK.

I don't think WebKitGTK supports NPAPI plugins anymore which is what Adobe Reader 9.1 used so this can be closed.

That is right, the NPAPI support is no more in trunk. Let's close this.
(And thanks for the heads up!)
