PDF problem

[ray house]

 Yes in the email program, I open the email with the attachement. I click on the attachement and I get a download window I wait till the download is complete and then no matter what I click, nothing happens! Ray

While in the email program?



 Epiphany is a browser so clicking on a PDF will save the file, hence
the download window, unless you associate another action with that file
type. Once a file is downloaded right click to get the menu. Choose
Properties and then go to the Open tab to select Open Office, Evince or
Acrobat to associate with this type of file. Once the OS know how to
deal with that file it should open them directly without the download.



You wrote originally..." i am
using
Ubuntu
9.04 with Epiphany and cant read PDF from emails" and, as I understand
it,  this is confusing as emails do not have anything to do with your
browser.

What happens when you right click on the attachment in the email
program? What happens when you choose Open?

        Hi, i am using
Ubuntu
9.04 with Epiphany and cant read PDF from emails. With synaptic I
downloaded Acrobat 9.0 but when I open Acrobat it says to go to Edit,
preferences, internet and at bottom of window I get: please specify the
directory containing the HTML rendering library( libgtkembedoz.so or
libxul.so) this library is required for rendering HTML content in Adobe
Reader:

At this point using synaptic I seem to go nowhere, in other words I am
lost! Any help please,  Ray

        

        One at a time or all at once? Get updates from your friends
in one
place.
      I use Open Office and all email attached PDFs
work
just
fine and open automatically with a double click.
