Hello
I am using nppd.so ad aplugin for PDF files in Epiphany.
Plugin installed from ports (pluginwrapper)
Epiphany 1.06
FreeBSD 5.2.1
Flash plugin works great,
Acrobat reader works great by itself.
When I attempt to view a PDF file in epiphany from a URL, nppd.so  
attempts to launch acrobat reader and hangs at the splash screen.
(Force quit to get out of it)
Anybody solve this one before?
TIA for thoughts.
More info:
the file nppd.so is a link:
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     48 Aug 16 12:02 nppdf.so -> /usr/local/

# Acrobat with Konqueror
# KDE on FreeBSD requires plugins to be placed in /opt/mozilla/ 
plugins/.
# (unlike many other www browsers on X11, it does not support
# /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ for a plugin directory)
# So please copy nppdf.so to /opt/mozilla/plugins/ like following  
lines.
#       mkdir -p /opt/mozilla/plugins
#       cd /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux
#       cp nppdf.so /opt/mozilla/plugins/
