Turn on USE-Flag "nsplugin" for app-text/acroread if you like Adobe
Reader. I use xpdf, because acroread takes ages to load. For this to
work I added xpdf as handler for the "application/pdf" MIME-type to the
list of helper applications. It should be somewhere in the preferences.

xpdf. I start acroread only when xpdf displays the file incorrectly.
Cheers,
