I can’t believe how long I went around and around the problem where my printer-specific stylesheet generated only one page in Mozilla Firefox cutting off any content that went beyond. And even though I was looking right at the solution here, Print Stylesheets - css-discuss it still took much too much naval gazing before I realized that I hadn’t applied the position: static property to the main page containers. Much too much time.

I recently upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to Acrobat 7.0 Professional and encountered a problem whenever I tried to open PDF files from Mozilla Firefox. The base installation of Acrobat 7.0 doesn’t seem to update the Firefox plug-in. I discovered how to do it manually from this post in the Adobe support forums, Adobe Forums - PDF won’t open in Mozilla or Firefox browser windows - how to restore plugins?.
Essentially, you just copy the latest version of the plug-in, nppdf32.dll from the Acrobat 7.0 folder to the Firefox plug-in folder.

I’m finding out a few things about using ems as the measurement units for web pages:
- They make for some fluid layouts when using them for widths
- They, unexpectedly, cause inconsistent wrapping of text at different font sizes (when pixel defined text is within an em defined container)
- It’s not a good unit for trying to manage container height. Fixed em heights can break if larger font size forces wrapping
I’m sure there’s more but this format of taking notes isn’t conducive to jotting stuff down.
