Description Troels Kofoed Jacobsen 2008-06-18 22:38:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When my .pdf file tries to execute an external application I get the following message:

"
The document is trying to
execute an external
application and for your
safety okular does not
allow that.
"

I think that Okular should not deny the execution, but just warn and ask for confirmation. This is important as I cannot embed e.g. movies in my pdf presentations on linux, but need to play them in mplayer.

Please also look at bug #137663 (same topic, but for KPDF).
Basically, almost everything is explained there.
