      1. click on "view" for attached pdf
      2. flash-player is loaded. Code for fall-back reads: 

      <div>You need flash player installed to preview ppt and pdf files</div>
<div>		
 <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
</div>

      3. browser raises security warning because of get_flash_player.gif is loaded via http from adobe.com

      Proposed solution:

      • Include gif in plugin-jar
      • don't use external references to adobe as this addidionally could raise issues with referrer data and data privacy
