Sorry, the URL given was only a fictious example.
But summarising the feedback I got from the net (tnx to all), it does work
now: The plugin is named nppdf.so on Solaris and is located in the
/opt/Acrobat3/Browsers/sparcsolaris/ directory. One has to put a symbolic
link to that file in the .../Netscape/plugins/ -directory, make sure that
the environment variable NPX_PLUGIN_PATH exists & points to that directory
(or start the "netscape" script in the Acrobat3-directory instead of
invoking Netscape directly), create a new MIME-entry for application/pdf in
Netscape's Edit/Preferences/Navigator/Applications section and enable the
plugin for that file type.
If all went well, Netscape will answer on "about:plugins" with a screen
indicating that the plugin is up and running.
Now browsing of PDFs as indicated does work: In a seamless window of the
Navigator and to whatever named destination therein you select, by directly
entering the "PDF-URL" as stated.
(Note that this would *technically* work on local PDF-files as well as for
PDFs on the Internet/intranet, but you may not use it, as it is against
Adobe's *license policies* for the Acrobat Reader, AFAIK. -Strange, ain't
it?)
