Google Chrome Not Showing Pdf Files!? - I can't believe they missed this!

Digitalidad
Hi there, guys!  I recently posted that I use the Chrome browser and that I find it very good, however a thing bugs me: when I try to open a PDF file that is online the browser doesn't seem to have a plug-in to do it and I have to save the file to my harddisk. BTW I'm not using Adobe Acrobat's plug-in with my other browsers, but I have the Foxit Reader which is much lighter and faster than Adobe's software -I recommend you to try it ( Foxit SW site). Anyway, I can't believe the Google guys didn't include that very common functionality in their browser. Do you have the same problem? Did you solve it somehow? Thanks in advance!

This is a pain actually. There have been bugs about this on the site itself. Just check out Chromium Development Blog. Its about PDF files, because you need Adobe Acrobat's plug-n because they haven't developed a standalone reader for files unlike other browsers. They took it out beta because of they need to take advantage of the growing market, unlike GMail where as long it stays in perpetual beta it cannot be mocked, while Chrome is good enough to get out and get going. Just check out code.google.com/chromium

You have to install the following plugins into Firefox or they won't work in Google Chrome. No I'm not on drugs. :) You have to do it this way.

Real Player still won't work in Chrome.

The Firefox Windows Media Player Plugin there will allow you to play videos in the browser window instead of opening Windows Media Player.

Instead of installing the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox use Foxit Reader plugin. I like Adobe Reader better myself.

    What do u think of Google's latest freeware browser? (28)
    I’m not suprised by this. Chrome auto updates itself without my consent (although I did consent for

  7. Google Bar Extenson Needed
    Fault with instalation (1)
    I recently perfomed a check for updates on my extensions and updated several including my google
    tool bar. The update stopped at 452 of 677 and the green bar froze, I tried restarting ad
    re-updating but the same thing happened. So I stupidly removed the extension and then tried to
    instal the latest version from scratch but the same problem persists so now I cannot add the toolbar
    back in. I have tried completely uninstalling FF but when I reinstall it has all my extensions in
    place and the same freeze occurs when I try to re-install googlebar. So, anyone know how to ....

    spreading quickly on Thursday. Last summer, a MyDoom variant pumped so many queries into Google
    that the search engine was unavailable or very slow for large periods of time. The same variant of
    MyDoom also succeeded in knocking a number of smaller search engines--including Lycos and
    Altavista--off the Web completely. Antivirus firm Sophos said the latest MyDoom variant searches....
