Thanks to Michael Connolly, Deb Heller-Evans & Lars Hecking. I used Michael's recommended solution (it took about 5 seconds to run) and it appears that it works just fine. I have copied his response here for my summary: ===========snip============== You want to run: /<Acrobat load-point dir>/Reader/desktop/olwm/acroread.deskinstall That should set up your association. I also put a soft link from <Acrobat load-point dir>bin/acroread to /usr/bin/acroread so acroread is ALWAYS found.. Regards, Michael J. Connolly ==========end snip========== Ron D -----Original Message----- From: Dinwiddie, Ron (TIFPC) [mailto:RDinwid@templeinland.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 11:25 AM To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: Acrobat reader association file Hi all, I haven't set this up since '98, but I *think* this problem has to do with creating a MIME file. I have users accessing our Solaris 2.6 server and using the default file manager to access their files. When they double-click on a .pdf file, it's not associated with our installed Acrobat Reader. I would like to create a global file that associates .pdf's to Acrobat and if I remember correctly, it has to do with a mime configuration file. Our users $HOME/.cshrc file sources a global .cshrc file so they all have the same basic environment. I'm searching sunsolve as well as the acrobat web site for this info, but have come up empty so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
