Did you ever get the answer to this? Yesterday I had a high school
student trying to print a flyer that was a pdf -- GVC or some Gnome
program opened the pdf and didn't allow us to request multiple copies,
or change whether or not it printed in color or black and white. I
wanted to try acroread, but ran into problems trying to save the
web-based pdf and open it again. It was very frustrating for the student
and me. By the end, all he wanted was a windows machine. :^( I looked
at the file /etc/mime-types, but that didn't seem to be what I thought.
I didn't see that you received a response to this..... I'd like to set
acroread as the default application for all pdf's, local or web-based.
Everyone it seems is using pdf's for text documents now on the web.
