How to embed evince in firefox 4?
I installed mozplugger and created the file mozpluggerrc with the following content according to this post but when I open a .pdf it opens in a separate evince window.
is there a way I can truly embed it in Firefox like the chrome pdf reader?
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-postscript: ps: PostScript file
application/postscript: ps: PostScript file
application/x-dvi: dvi: DVI file
: evince $file
Solution 1:
Evince is a GTK+ PDF and PS viewer to replace gpdf/xpdf/acroread and ggv, and it's open source. Using mozplugger you can embed all sorts of stuff into Mozilla and/or Firefox like media players and openoffice.
First make sure you have Evince and mozplugger installed.
Now open up~/.mozilla/mozpluggerrc
in your favorite text editor. Here's how to do it with gedit Press Alt + Ctrl + T and paste
gedit ~/.mozilla/mozpluggerrc
Wherever you see this:
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
and
application/x-postscript: ps: PostScript file
application/postscript: ps: PostScript file
add this on the next line:
repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"
Close Firefox and Thats it!
HERE mine :
application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-postscript: ps: PostScript file
application/postscript: ps: PostScript file
repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"
# Also load the default configuration
sinclude(/etc/mozpluggerrc)
Note : this plug-ins embed MPlayer Totem OpenOffice ... Too
