[MacTUG] Question regarding using Macs with the university's financial system (FORE)

[Dani Roloson]

FORE

One can't use Firefox since the built-in plug-in doesn't do drill-down.
The Safari/Adobe combo has to be used; check for Adobe by going to the bottom area of a PDF.
Drill-down test page: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~daroloso/Drill/
One department admin came across a problem in FORE where attempting to access older reports resulted in a blank list with the Safari/Adobe combo. She reported it to Finance and they said it is a known problem with the 7 year old system that won't be replaced for another year at least. If the dept admins need to access non-current stuff, they'll have to use the Windows Terminal Server.

Hi all,

I was wondering what others are doing for enable Mac users to use the
FORE, financial system.

What I have been doing is have the users use Firefox v17 ESR in
combination with PDF Browser Plugin v 2.4.2.
Both of these are getting rather old now, so I am looking for other
possible solutions.

Thanks,
Stephen
