My own anecdotal evidence is completely the opposite. I've never heard anything but praise. Being able to open pdfs right in my browser with no stupid plugins is downright heavenly. There's only a couple PDFs I've ever seen that made pdf.js choke. I absolutely love it and am very glad I don't have to mess with some external PDF viewer or annoying plug-in ever again.
- iopq 12y agoI absolutely hate it. It only takes one or two PDFs that crash or freeze Firefox to install a completely separate viewer that is much better. It depends on how often it happens to you, but I probably had three crash or freeze type issues before I switched. I did have dozens of documents with invisible text (wrong styling in pdf.js) that messed it up for me, though.
- zzleeper 12y agoDitto. I'm happer with pdf.js than with my external acrobat pro. Also, it takes a few sessions to get used to it, but I don't see much of a difference in how I use FF with australis (i.e. its kinda good but nothing to think about too much)
- rcthompson 12y agoI'm happy enough with PDF.js that I went out of my way to install it in Chrome (which is my primary browser for reasons).
- SteveMoody73 12y agoI've had a few electronics datasheets that have cause PDF.js to fail on or run slowly but in the main i've found that it works perfectly well. For the ones that do fail it's easy enough to download them and open them up in a different viewer.
