I used this today but then I had to delete a page and couldn't do that in the browser so I had to do it with python code. I'm not a fan of the browser becoming the everything app but pdf software feels particularly shitty to have to install so I'd welcome more pdf features in firefox.
- ogurechny 2y agoThe “PDF software” is great for basic tasks like these — you don't even need to write any code, just use pdftk or mutool. It's the Web that is full of junk semi-malware tools that prevent people from finding the right solution.
- squarefoot 2y agoI'm also not a fan of browsers doing everything, but this fills a niche that is often occupied by a much more bloated suite like Adobe Acrobat.
- eviks 2y agoThere are pdf apps that aren't as bloated as either Adobe Acrobat or the browser
- ag_guy 2y agoCan you list a few?
- kmoser 2y agoI've been using Foxit Reader https://www.foxit.com/pdf-reader/ https://www.foxit.com/pdf-reader/ for years to mark up PDFs. The new Firefox feature seems to be a pared-down version of Foxit Reader, which seems kind of redundant to me. I would much rather have the ability to actually edit a PDF, i.e. change existing text and images.
