To view pdf documents while browsing on Linux platform, it is common to install the Acrobat Reader plugin for Mozilla or Firefox. I tend to think that the whole process is complicated, especially one needs to copy nppdf.so to the Mozilla plugins directory, and make sure a copy of or symbolic link acroread program in the directory path.
There is a much simpler solution. In Fedora Core 3, Gnome pdf (gpdf) is already bundled. According to my experience, after clicking on a pdf document, Firefox will ask you what program to invoke. Just simply key in "/usr/bin/gpdf" and check the box " always use the same program for such application" will do.
