I guess I asked the wrong question in my previous inquiry 
and one of the responses helped me to see more clearly ;)) 

Perhaps the question should have been stated this way: 
Is there a way to open and view pdf files from within an html menu. 

I use both Konqueror and Firefox, but when either opens a pdf 
file, nothing is displayed, even though both xpdf and acro work 
on my system.  I think both K and F are trying to use some other 
pdf reader that isn't working correctly. 

So, perhaps an even better question might be how can I specify 
which pdf reader to use in each browser?  I can't find anytthing 
under Konqueror > settings > configure Konqueror to accomplish 
that; and when I try to open a pdf file with Firefox, it opens a 
dialog box that says, "What should Firefox do with this file?" 
and under the "Open with" option, the selection window is blank.
