Detecting PDF plugin on users browser
Hi all,
I need to detect weather pdf plugin is installed on users browser or not???
I have used "Accept" header from request to get all the mime types but it is not giving "application/pdf" as one of mime types and its giving rest of mime types along with */*
Than i used java script which creates Active x object....it works fine when i embed that on a standalone html but when i use the same html in resin web server it falis to create active x object????So are there any other alternatives????
Thanks
Prashanth

I guess you could use something like this and just return a link for

Works only on windows, I've done this sort of thing before where you
use javascript to write vbscript and all that jazz. At the end of the
day IMO best to assume that the user knows what a pdf is and know how
they want to read it.
I guess you could use something like this and just return a link for
folks who don't use windows.
