Too many windows

When you use Pubget, PDFs are supposed to display inline (meaning in a single window), to the right of the results list, like this:

Sometimes, a browser is set to download and open PDFs in separate windows, like this:

or else to prompt you to save the PDFs to disk without displaying them.

Changing the settings is usually pretty easy but depends on your browser and operating system. If you don't see your browser/operating system below, please let us know so we can help.

Firefox on Mac OS X

With the recent release of Firefox 3, and the OS X inline PDF plugin, you can now use Pubget with Firefox on the Mac. Simply update to Firefox 3 and install the plugin.

Firefox on Linux

On Ubuntu Linux, install either the Adobe Acrobat or Evince PDF viewer and the mozplugger package ("sudo apt-get install mozplugger evince").
