Unable to open a " .pdf " file

Unread post by gipito » 2013-01-26, 19:02

Hello,
I am accustomed to open the website of my sailing club ( www.granglargue.asso.fr ) with Palemoon.
In this website I am invited to click on a link in order to open a " pdf " document .
I am unable to obtain this document and it was the same with FireFox.

I have had the information on the FF forum to cancel the plug-in of "Adobe Reader" and use " Sumatra pdf "

The result is OK with FF .
Is it possible to obtain the same result with Pale Moon ?

Tanking you beforehand for your reply.

Welcome to the forum! :) Have a look at this topic: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1835 Does the information/links in the "EDIT" section at the bottom of my reply describe the problem you are experiencing?

If this is the root cause of your problem the bug concerned was only fixed in Firefox 17 onwards, and so will probably only be fixed in Pale Moon when the next major version is released. :(

BTW - your sailing club link above is "not found" for me? Or is this just a problem for me & BT (major UK ISP)? :problem: Closest match to your link is: http://www.grandlargue.asso.fr/gol/ ?

The OP mis-linked, it is http://www.grandlargue.asso.fr/

I use Foxit so no point in me checking .pdfs. :)
