Yes!  Copy (or symlink) this file (from your Acrobat4 directory --
assuming you have it installed ;-):
   ./Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so

To any Netscape/Mozilla plug-in directory.  Usually these are:
   /usr/share/Netscape/plugin
   /usr/share/Mozilla/plugin

Sometimes there are multiple Mozilla directories under /usr/share, so
look at the date/version.

All plug-ins you setup in Mozilla automatically work in Galeon.

P.S.  You can also use Plugger to call XPDF instead, if you don't want
to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05.  Debian installs Galeon this way
by default.
