PDF viewer for Firefox?

Does anyone know how to view pdf files from the firefox browser? I downloaded the pdf viewer and it works with safari, but I usually use firefox.....
Thanks

moscowotters, the extension you referred to doesn't work as advertised on the Mac version of Firefox: it brings up the dialog as expected, but if you choose "Open PDF," the PDF still launches Adobe Reader or Preview, rather than opening the PDF in the browser.
Sadly, PDF viewing in the browser appears to be limited to Safari for the time being.

PDF viewer for Firefox 4.0b7

I know that the Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS still doesn't work for the newer versions of 4.0b. I want to know if this problem bothered anyone enough so that they went and found a workaround of some sort till the PDF plugin does come out. Also the Google Docs reader doesn't do me any good so that suggestion would probably be useless.
Before the update to 4.0b7, I was running a patched version of the PDF Plugin but the patched version broke, as expected.
Also as a side note, video playing is broken in the new update.

Nah, I have a PDF printer installed for that. I am trying to view PDFs without downloading the file to my computer. Firefox had a plugin for that for the previous betas and I wanted to check if there are any workarounds or if there is a patched version available somewhere.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I'm actually looking for a plug-in to allow me to view PDF files when using Firefox. I had one installed earlier but somehow it doesn't allow me to preview PDF contents in Firefox any more. Anything to recommend?
Did you review Firefox's pdf plug-ins? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=pdf&cat=all

Why no PDF viewer for Firefox4 for Mac?

I used to use the PDF viewing plug-in with Firefox 3.X but it seems there is no similar plug-in available for 4.X. Am I missing something? I tried downloading OpenIT, but it was truly awful. Why is Firefox so far behind on such a basic yet essential capability? I am about to either revert to 3.X or replace Firefox with Safari.

A checked checkbox is rendered as unchecked in default pdf viewer of firefox. It is checked when the pdf is opened with adobe.

I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Hi FCAtrains,
Firefox can open SVG graphics straight away - no plugins needed at all. Give it a try!
It's best not to install plugins which are no longer supported. They can be a threat to your employer's network security.
Have a go at opening some SVG graphics in Firefox and let us know if ypu need further help. :)

Hi jayelbe,
thanks for your idea but the environment I'm working in is designed to support IE and is optimized for the use of the Adobe feature. By using the IE the SVG graphics can be saved as *.svg in a dedicated folder but not so by using Firefox. The graphic window area shows no content. The file can not be downloaded.
An additional issue is - may be - that I'm working on my home device with LINUX instead of Windows (where everything works).

How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Change default PDF viewer in Firefox

Hi,
I use Firefox a lot for viewing the web and when I click on a PDF file I get the option of either saving it to my computer or opening it in Preview. However, I'd like to be able to open the PDF directly in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a way I can set what application should be used to open my PDF files from Firefox? And if so, how do I do it? Thanks so much.

Georege Orville,
These look like the instructions to change the default viewer in the Finder. I don't have a problem doing this, my only problem is that when I click on a PDf file in Firefox it always opens with Preview instead of Adobe. When I right click on a PDF link in Firefox I'm allowed to open the link in a new tab and then a pop up box comes up allowing me to either "open with <application>" or "Save to Disk". But the only application I'm allowed to use is Preview, which is what I want to change. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much.

I am viewing a PDF in the new PDF Viewer in Firefox 19 and parts of the document look corrupted and do not view properly. Why is this?

The PDF is a newsletter for my company that can be found here:

Thank you

This is a new feature, and not perfect. Also there are various versions of pdf file about. If necessary download the file instead, or consider using an add-on instead to view the files.

PDF viewer in Firefox doesn't handle feathering of edges and soft shadows

In Firefox 25.01 for Mac OS 10.6.8, I have looked on a website at a pdf created in and exported to pdf from inDesign. The pics and text use some of the basic filters - like drop shadow and basic feather. This all comes out blocky as if it has no idea what to do with gradations. And it is chaos on the page because edges are overlapping text and so on.
It reads fine in Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) when looked at online. It also reads fine when the pdf downloaded and looked at in Acrobat. But Firefox is totally confused.
Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Default pdf viewer for Digital Booklet

I have Adobe Reader 8.0 on my computer as my default viewer for Acrobat documents. I also have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed, which I use to create pdfs. When I click on a digital booklet in iTunes, it opens with 6.0 with an error message. When I click on it in windows explorer, it opens in 8.0. Is there any way to change the iTunes configuration so it will open booklets with Reader 8.0?
thanks

Depends on where you are getting the PDF from. If it's sent as an attachment in an email then Mail will open it; if it's on a website then Safari will open it. You can also download Apple's iBooks app for free which will open PDFs
