jmozmoz / pdfviewerswitcher Goto Github PK

Is there a chance that this will get signed by Mozilla?

Support other pdf reader plugins. Based on https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/pdfviewerswitcher/reviews/599278/

This is a follow up on the request from CleverClogs. I managed to make PDFviewer switcher to use to a different pdf plugin (SumatraPDF) instead of Adobe by modifying main.js in xpi package. What is needed, is to replace (in two places in main.js) the string 'navigator.plugins["Adobe Acrobat"]' with 'navigator.plugins["SumatraPDF Browser Plugin"]' - I guess it will similarly work for Foxit.

Perhaps the author would like to make this configurable (i.e., in the add-on options) so that we do not have to hard-code it in the sources.

The best way would be to detect all installed pdf plugins and add them to the context menu and as drop down menu to the toolbar button.

I just saw this review at AMO. I think this problem might be due to the web site using the Content-Disposition: attachment header. If I remember it correctly, PDF.js won't display the file and prompt for download instead if this header is set.

This might explain the problem the user is seeing.
