Description Preston Crow 2003-04-30 17:05:02 UTC

net-www/netscape-plugger-4.0-r1
app-text/xpdf-2.02

If xpdf is the only pdf viewer installed, plugger will start it up correctly,
but fail to display the document in the web browser.  The problem is that in
/etc/pluggerrc, it has the command:
   repeat swallow(xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 -err "$file"
To make this work, change the line to:
   repeat swallow(Xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 "$file"

Note that the case on the window being swallowed and the removal of the
non-existant "-err" option to xpdf.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Install xpdf and netscape-plugger.  Remove gv and acroread, if present.  View a
web page with a pdf plugin.
Actual Results:  
The would-be pdf document is a blank white block, instead.

Expected Results:  
The pdf file should be displayed.
