How to open a pdf from an email in Slacko 6.3?

#1 Post by EdD »

I installed slacko 6.3.0 recently and now when I try to open a pdf file from an email it asks me to choose an application. Does anyone know what application I would choose and where it is located? Thanks.

@ EdD:-

Just to make you aware of it, there's also the final Linux port of Adobe's Reader (9.5.5), released some four years ago. It's a big program, true.....but it's totally self-contained, and I've yet to find a Pup it won't run in. It's chock-full of features, too.

You can find both .pet & SFS versions at my MediaFire a/c, if you're interested. Help yourself to whichever you want.

If you decide to try it, and want to set it as default PDF reader, the executable is /usr/bin/Adobe-Reader.


Mike. :wink:

Thanks, Mike. I think I added it correctly at that location.
