Roadmap for PDF reader in Microsoft Edge
In article ,
nospam says... there is if you use another app to read the pdf, which you said you did. Nope, wrong again. When I click on a link to a pdf it downloads to a temp folder and is automatically displayed in PDFXChange on the second screen. One click needed, no plug-ins, no switching. Just set: chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments to: Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome The result is that one screen is displaying the web page and the other is showing the pdf. Which is how I like things. -- Ken |

nospam says... that's a separate app. Yes I know. I was refuting your claim that I would need to launch another app to read the pdf. The action of downloading the pdf launches the reader automatically. Just as downloading an image file launches Irfanview. you're ignoring installing that app and configuring it to handle pdfs. yes I am. because I did that when I set up the laptop 4 years ago as that was necessary to view local pdf files in my preferred viewer. Or are you now going to argue that installing Windows 10 is necessary to achieve my preferred setup and should be taken into account as well? I also needed to have an account with an electricity supplier so I could power the PC, perhaps I should have mentioned that just to keep you happy. -- Ken |

Just as downloading an image file launches Irfanview. just because it happens automatically doesn't change the fact that a second app must be launched. but at least you finally agree a second app is required. progress. you're ignoring installing that app and configuring it to handle pdfs. yes I am. because I did that when I set up the laptop 4 years ago as that was necessary to view local pdf files in my preferred viewer. it absolutely counts, just as installing a plug-in 4 years ago would have been. none of that is needed when pdf is built into the browser (although you still could do so). |

That is what I have beeen saying from the start. Obviously if I am not viewing pdfs in the browser then I am using another app. -- Ken |
