"evince plugin" in Firefox - F11, how?

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I remember in Fedora 10 I managed to get Firefox open Evince within its window whenever I opened a filetype supported by it. IIRC I think it was done through mozplugger (the generic mozilla plugin). I tried to get the same in Fedora 11 and Firefox 3.5... Could it be possible to have the same behaviour in Fedora 11 with FF and Evince? I wish I had a screenshot of Evince working inside Firefox, with all and even windows which displayed a framed webpage, alas I do not. However, I do know it is possible in Fedora 10. (HowTos)

Stories similar to "evince plugin" in Firefox - F11, how?

Does anyone accomplished that? I can't get it working, evince opens in it's own window. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity, Chromium 16, evince 3.2.1, mozplugger 1.14.3-4 mozplugger config for pdfs is:

repeat noisy needs_xembed swallow(evince) fill: evince -w "$file"

This works just fine in Gentoo with same chromium version but evince 2(gtk2) and gnome2.

In the Description of Evince, the document viewer supports pdf, tiff, rtf and djvu, but when I want to open a djvu file in Evince, I got the yellow frame saying that Evince does not support djvu files.

I searched for a librairy or a plugin for Evince to help it support djvu but I didn't find anything.

How to teach Evince to read djvu ?

It is no secret that working with many open PDFs in Ubuntu using the Evince Viewer is a huge mess and needs some serious overhaul (or maybe not?). Despite the discussion if Evince should support tabbing to solve the problem, I am curious what people have come up with in the meantime to work around this problem and make Ubuntu more productive.

When choose some PDF document to be opened by Evince from a WWW-site, it shows the document with font size 300%. How can I change it to show the document by font size 100 %? The same issue occurs both in Firefox and in Chrome. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, Evince 3.6.0, Firefox 16.0.1 and Chrome 22.0.1229.94.

I've been unable to print any PDFs in Evince or Evince windows in Firefox recently due to a segmentation fault.

I remember reading somewhere that since goal of evince is to act as a document viewer, it won't support highlighting. Am I right ?

are evince dev's going to support highlighting in future.

Hello everyone,

Evince has stopped working today, when I click on a pdf file nothing happens, no error messages, no warnings, nothing. The same thing if I try to start Evince from the menu.

How can I debug this? Or send some more information?

Any alternatives to Evince worth noting?

Thank you.

Fedora users, now you can install the new Firefox Lorentz Beta 3.6.3 plugin1 and Gwibber 2.29.92.1 in Fedora 12. As we have already seen Firefox Lorentz Beta comes with OOPPs which protects the browser in case of plugin crashes.
