Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
So with the new Pale Moon version, pdf reader/viewer is not supported anymore. Any workarounds to get such an addon working?

Huh, where did you get that idea? IsaacSchemm's pdf.js works well in 29.2.0.

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
It works fine if you use the one I linked to in older posts in this thread since that one targets Pale Moon.

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
I had the pdf viewer installed from another dev, it was the external one that was used by Pale Moon. It stopped working after this update, but I installed pdf.js and it working for me, thanks!jobbautista9 wrote: ↑2021-04-28, 06:54Huh, where did you get that idea?

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
If I may respectfully add my own two cents here…
I do a lot of research involving online digital collections of newspapers, magazines, manuscripts, etc., and there are many such collections that embed views of PDFs within web pages. A few examples:
https://www.library.fordham.edu/digital ... M/id/20979
[Hover mouse pointer of page image area and click when it says “Open Image Viewer”.]
https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00028290/04705/pdf
As far as I can tell, you do need a plugin or extension, or a browser with built-in PDF support, to properly view these pages. Since use of HTML/PDF hybrid pages like these is becoming fairly common in digital collections, especially among large libraries and educational institutions, I'd say that PDF is well on its way to being adopted as one of a variety of web content formats, and that official support is warranted. Just sayin’.
Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
Why are you reviving old threads for shits and giggles when the link to a working PDF support extension has already been mentioned in this very thread several times? Install that and use it if you want to view PDFs in the browser. End of story.

My two cents. If YOU need a PDF plug-in and/or built in PDF support. My suggestion is to start working on either one. Your choice.

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
Both pages work just fine. The first has pdf.js embedded as a web-side viewer, which will do fine (albeit being very slow because the "PDF" in question is large scanned images that must be downloaded). The second has a "Download this PDF" link right there which will spawn a download and external PDF viewer as-normal when installed.
Neither require a plugin or extension. So let me respectfully donate your 2 bits to charity.

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
I think it should be noted that the IsaacShemm pdf.js fork was recently added to our site too.

Re: PDF viewing support is not trivial
Thanks for noting that, Lootyhoof.
I have now uninstalled the Github version and installed the version that is hosted on official Pale Moon servers.
