Licensing or registering the Form Viewer application is not necessary for the Air Force community because electronic forms are individually licensed and registered.
The Form Viewer application will not open unlicensed electronic forms. If you are prompted for license and key information while using the Form Viewer, you are attempting to open an unlicensed electronic form. Contact the e-Publishing Service Desk if you find an unlicensed electronic form on the e-Publishing web site.
Are Internet Explorer and Netscape configured to work with the Form Viewer during installation?
During installation of the Form Viewer, the installer automatically installs the files needed to function properly with the browser on the workstation. If the installer cannot locate the browser, you must to copy the files manually for your browser as follows:
Early Versions of IE (4.x): The Form Viewer operates as a plugin under early versions of IE. This requires that the file npmfv.dll is installed in the browser's Plugins directory.
The plugin file is always installed with the Viewer and located at:
\Plugins\npmfv.dll
Depending on your version of IE, the plugin directory is located at either:
a) \Program Files\Internet Explorer\Plugins\
b) \Program Files\Plus!\Plugins\
Later Versions of IE (5.0+): The Form Viewer operates as an ActiveX Document Server under later versions of IE, which requires registering the file ViewerOutlet.dll with your Windows system.
You will have to register the dll manually if the installer does not detect your browser by:
From the Start menu, select Run.
In the Open field, type command and press Enter.
At the command prompt, type:
c:\\\regsvr32
"c:\Program Files\PureEdge\Viewer 5.0\ActiveX\ViewerOutlet.dll"
and press Enter.
Netscape (4.0 and later, excluding 6.0 and 6.01): The Form Viewer operates as a plugin under Netscape, which requires installation of the file npmfv.dll in the correct browser directory:
The Plugins directory for versions before 6.0 is:
\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins\
The Components directory for version 6.1 and later is
\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6\Components\
You will have to copy the file manually if the installer cannot locate your browser. The plugin file is always installed with the Viewer and located at:
\Plugins\npmfv.dll
You can copy it from this folder to the correct Netscape folder.
Netscape version 6.1 or later: You will also have to register the plugin with Windows by:
From the Start menu, select Run.
In the Open field, type command and press Enter.
At the command prompt, type:
c:\\regxpcom
"c:\\Components\npmfv.dll"
and press Enter.
In order to minimize installation and setup problems, uninstalling and reinstalling the Form Viewer is recommended if one of the following occur:
Installation of IE 4.x after installation of the Form Viewer
Installation of IE or an upgrade to IE version 5.0 or later after installation of the Form Viewer
Upgrade from an earlier version of Netscape to version 6.1 or later
