I just did that and it is working fine (so far).
Configuration: Acrobat reader 5, Mozilla 1.0, Redhat 7.2
I have created a link from mozilla plugins directory to the Acrobat reader nppdf.so

and added the <Acrobat install dir>/bin to the command search path

in my environment it looks like this:

nppdf.so -> /opt/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
PATH=$PATH:/opt/Acrobat5/bin
export PATH

Acrobat reader is now opened within the browser window.

I hope this help

> The plugin shipped with Acrobat Reader 5.0 (nppdf.so) can be installed in Mozilla's home. However, when I try to open a .pdf file through Mozilla, the plugin outputs on the command line the message : " Acrobat plug-in. Could not find Acrobat External Window Handler Plugin. " Has someone succeded in using this ?
