Unable to open PDF on Suse Linux?
 
To whom it may concern

I just reimage my machine and try to open a Adobe Acrobat PDF file on the internet..
when I click on it nothing happens....I do have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 on my Suse machine

On the bottom of the web link it says done but nothin happens in my screen!

Thanks ....

Which browser are you using, which DE/WM are you using?

It's most likely NOT an Acrobat issue but a question of whether
you have a plugin for your browser to handle PDFs or not.
