No, I don't think I ever tried Acrobat; but I've wrestled a lot with the Java
and Flash plugins. These things are not really high priority for me, and I
work with so many different computers, that I really don't remember when I've
gotten plugins to work and when I haven't, and what I've done differently
between the two cases. And obviously, my previous idea doesn't work. Sorry I
wasn't of more help.
