A12. Although we had a bit of a rocky start with Mac OSX (because of nearly simultaneous changes in the OS and in Adobe’s Reader), the plugin now works well with OSX 10.4 (Tiger) and later and Adobe Acrobat/Reader versions 7 and 8. New installation instructions are here. The most seamless experience is with the Safari browser and Adobe Reader 8 (which displays PDF in the browser window). For Linux, some earlier versions of the plugin did not work properly. That problem is now (hopefully) solved, and new installation instructions are here. You’ll need Adobe Reader 7 or later (free). The Firefox, Epiphany, and Opera browsers can be configured to display PDF seamlessly in the browser window. The Konqueror browser displays PDF in an external window.
