pdf in mozilla


wooo i get to ask a question!

ok, how do i make mozilla open up pdf files internally? you know what i mean.. like IE does using Acrobat in windows. i know it's easy to do, cos it happens at uni, with netscape... must be the same for mozilla.

Go to Preferences->Navigator->Helper Applications.The MIME type should be 'application/pdf' and assign whatever application it is you want to use to open the pdf file... say 'acroread'. Whenever you click on a link for a .pdf file, it should ask if you want to use this to open it. I have acrobat reader for linux... i think that some postscript viewers will do it as well.

yeah, i can get an external app to load, i just want it to stay integrated inside mozilla. i'll see if acroread does that..

if not?
