I am working with a large staff of moderately computer illiterate people. What I have found with your solution is that it does work, but our primary Java application doesn’t work under Rosetta. Any solution that a “mere mortal” can do on a regular basis would be appreciated. (Aside from obviously convincing Adobe, Firefox, and/or Schubert to play nicely together – which obviously hasn’t worked in over a year….)

I too was extremely frustrated by this and was really happy to have found your tip. It’s disappointing though that this problem still exists after all this time.

As I just discovered, the same trick (making it run under Rosetta) works for Safari to re-enable the PDF Viewer plugin.

No problems other than the fact that Firefox is a bit sluggish in Rosetta.

Thanks a lot!! I´ve tried reinstalling the PDF Browser Plugin and moving it around, but nothing helped. Do forcing the Rosetta-emulation cause any problems??

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve spent _hours_ trying to fix this, and I guess I finally found the right words to google for. Have you contacted the PDF Browser PlugIn folks to see if they’d put this info on their webpage or in their README?
