Summary

This extension uses Mozilla's pdf.js library to display PDF files in your browser. It will be used as a replacement for the default PDF viewer. This extension supports rendering remote and local PDF files on top frames. The extension provides the same experience as you open PDF files in the Firefox browser.

To allow the extension to parse local PDF files, you need to enable "Access Local Files" in the extension manager.

If you prefer the extension to parse PDF files in frame elements use the right-click context menu checkbox

Features:
1. Supports light and dark theme
2. Supports page navigation with "page" hash
3. Supports custom styling the PDF viewer
4. Supports displaying PDF signed and unsigned signatures
5. Supports opening PDF files by dropping them into the view

Available Rendering Options:
   Disable Page Labels

Safety

Risk impact

PDF Reader requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install PDF Reader if you trust the publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

PDF Reader is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

这个应用完美的解决了EDGE打开PDF后因为渲染问题造成文字变形、虚化的问题，真的非常棒。我在使用过程中，发现一个问题：在没有运行EDGE时，初次打开本地PDF会调用EDGE本身内置的阅读器，不会调用此扩展。而在已经运行了EDGE后，比如随便浏览网页，总之就是打开了EDGE后，再打开本地PDF就会正常调用该扩展，希望能就此问题优化一下，在没有打开EDGE时，初次运行本地PDF也能直接调用此扩展。最后还有一个建议：阅读界面上方工具栏的占比可以再小一些，另外在工具栏中增加浅色深色的切换。
