Locate/View PDF option under 2.1b7 & Ubuntu

SalishSea · February 23, 2011

I tried today to use the "View PDF" option under "locate" (revealed by the green right arrow and the inverted black triangle) on the main panel (just to right of search window). This does not bring up a PDF viewer (Acrobat and others installed) in my installation (Ubuntu 10.04) but if I select "show file", I can view it by right clicking on the file and selecting acrobat.

I assume I need to make some subtle adjustment to help Zotero find Acrobat.

I'd welcome suggestions.

Thanks

what opens pdfs in Zotero is determined by Firefox:
