PDF viewer and 2.46

Post by JohnB_XP »

The discontinued PDF.js add-on stopped working for me after updating to SeaMonkey 2.46. Is there a workaround or another plugin (other than that awful Adobe Reader PDf plugin)?

Thanks for your help!

You might look at Sumatra Free PDF viewer.
Then use menu path Edit->Preferences->Helper Applications to choose Sumatra as the default PDF viewer app.

I'm using pdf.js version 1.4.14 and it seems to work fine in 2.46.

Try this version - https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#firefox-and-seamonkey

Because pdf.js is one of those softwares where if it ain't broke, I don't upgrade it.

So, the reason is that version 1.4.14 works for me. :)
