Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Open Konqueror, without doing anything else first, click on a pdf-document, having set acrobat as plug-in to view it. When it was opened, the back button in the toolbar stays greyed out, instead of being activated and bringing one back to the directory-view in which one clicked on the pdf-document.
Still valid for 3.3.1 and not only acroread but all plug-ins. Starting a plug-in should enable the back button.
I don't have acroread to test with, but back button is available when using kpdf plugin.
It happens if I open konqueror, right-click a pdf-file, chose preview in > acrocread. KDE 3.5.4, acroread 7.
I just tried to reproduce the bug but I do not have acrobat 7 in the preview menu, neither does it show up in the Embedding tab in the file associations. Could it be that there is a problem in a .desktop file such that acroread is treated as an application that can embed when it really cannot?
Try to use the "Netscape plug-in" entry from the Preview-menu.
Have no problems on reading and opening PDF with the Adobe Acrobat 7.0.x version under KDE 3.5.5 The back button is active, and more the keyboard shortcut alt left arrow is still active ( That's better than with firefox :-) ) Have been tested with file://, smb://, nfs mounted share and http:// It seems that this bug could be close.
It still happens. Open koqnueror, do not change the directory, the PDF has to be in the directory that is opened when you open konqueror. Right-click the PDF > Preview with > Netscape-plugin. IfAcrobat is installed it will open in the konqueror window and display the PDF, yet the back button will stay greyed out. KDE 3.5.5.
Still happening, with kde 3.5.7 on a Gentoo box Opening pdf with acrobat nsplugin greys out back and up buttons. forward button is active but does nothing. if you have other tabs, switching to other tabs fixes it, otherwise you have to open a new tab then you go back to pdf tab and back and up button work (and ofcourse forward is greyed out)
Still present in 3.5.9 and 4.0.3, Acrobat Reader clobbers the history buttons while KPDF does not.
