Now here's a strange thing. The plugin is provided by the
mozilla-acroread package. The package description includes this:
This package contains the plugin for a www-browser like
mozilla/firefox/galeon/konqueror
The plugin works fine in konquereor, but not in firefox, mozilla,
epiphany or galeon which all have the 'plug-in failed to initialize'
error in an Adobe Reader dialogue box. So perhaps the problem lies
with mozilla/gecko? I suppose that I could purge and reinstall
mozilla, but that seems a bit heavy-handed. The other thing that I
might try is installing Adobe Reader from a tarball. I suspect that
this is what you did as you do not have the mozilla-acroread package
installed. Is that right?
Just a random suggestion, but are you trying out different PDFs? I
keep coming across PDFs that come up with errors, admittedly not yours
though.
You could try a PDF on your local drive too as well as a pdf on the net.
