I'm attempting to replace gnome pdf with Acrobat Reader on a server and make Acrobat Reader the default program used to open .pdf files. I've been able to make the changes to individual users but don't want to have to edit each individuals profile. Is there a way, within Solaris 10, to make a system-wide change and associate all .pdf files with Acrobat Reader so that all users would use Reader automatically to open .pdf files?
there is something called update-alternatives in Debian to do that...
Not a solaris user, sorry ! search for something similar atleast !
You can try this workaround from the bug report but remember since Oracle didn't provide Acrobat Reader with Solaris 10 for X86 it's not supported by Oracle Support.
Workaround:
The problem seems to be in the SUNWgnome-vfs-share pkg, in the file /usr/share/application-registry/gnome-vfs.applications
which includes the following entry:
command=/usr/sfw/bin/acroread
changing this to either
command=/usr/bin/acroread
or even just
command=acroread
should fix the problem.
Reply from SUN/Oracle seems to fix the problem!
