KParts Plugin
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This software implements a plugin for Netscape-compatible browsers in a Unix environment. This plugin uses KDE's KParts technology to embed file viewers (e.g. for PDF files) into non-KDE browsers. Tested browsers include both Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
With this plugin, you can e.g. view PDF files in Firefox using Okular as an embedded plugin.

First thanks for this great app. The solution will surely shape up to be superior to anything available atm.
I tried building it on opensuse as I was unable to find any package for it. The plugin was installed in /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugin/ so I made a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/.
But now when I open a PDF the okular app appear border-less and not embedded into the firefox window. Did I do something wrong? Or is it a bug?

No, okular doesn't open as the standalone. its the kpart of the application that open in a new window instead of being imbedded in the browser tab.
In firefox pdf files are mapped to kparts plugin as normal. But it happens in chrome and rekonq too.

The problem is that every browser crashes on load. Here's the backtrace:

The function may become available once I have figured out how to embed menus and toolbars of KParts inside the plugin.

I see that you use i18n() calls, but there is no script for extracting message into a .pot file (like Messages.sh).

The strings "Extension" and "Description" are not translatable. See kpartsplugin.cpp, line 395.

I tried to complile the .po file into kpartsplugin.mo and put it to ~/.kde4/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/, but KPartsPlugin is still in English.
You might need to use insertCatalog to insert the "kpartsplugin" translation catalog (or whatever you want to name it), and probably "shared-mime-info" and "xml_mimetypes" to make the MIME types descriptions also translated.

KGlobal::locale()->insertCatalog("kpartsplugin");
at the beginning of KPartsPlugin's constructor (around line 180) and test if it is working?

I tried to manually create KApplication or KComponentData objects, but this either did not make any difference or crashed the browser.
Report

I think, it doesn't work in Firefox (and also doesn't work in Opera, I've just tried it), because it is not a KDE application, and KLocale needs to be initialized manually. May be you just need to create a KApplication instance?
