Firefox has included a viewer based on PDF.js since 2013:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo
No need to download to anything other than localstorage.
There have been a half dozen vulnerabilities found in the Firefox extension code exploitable through PDF.js over the years, but this is a far better record than the hundreds of vulnerabilities identified in Acrobat Reader.
PDF.js does a lot less than Acrobat. It's much more focused on just displaying articles, and less about rich media interactions like embedding 3D models, Flash, videos, etc. in the PDF.
- pettycashstash2 5y agoVery much appreciate you pointing this out. Do you know if I can use this to embed a pdf in a personal website. a resume for example?
