That’s interesting but I still like to download pdf files as I may need them if I can’t get online.
One of my favorites is user-manual-home-eng.pdf 
pdf’s an open format since 2008 so they won’t have any problem with that. That’s a good thing to add this now, at least for those who don’t like Adobe Reader ;D (not my case).
yes. i have about 1 gig of pdfs.
it would be helpful if you are searching for some research paper or searching for some inputs to a seminar. someone simply can’t keep downloading every other paper found. instead this would be a good option.
I don’t like opening pdfs on-line either - so prefer to download them and use Foxit PDF reader even though I have the plug-in to view them on-line.
So for it is far from dead ;D
You could click another link to download the pdf.
I’d like the improvement.
Thanks for posting nmb.
welcome tech.
opening in you browser is different and in quick view is completely. risk of infection injection is completely not there in quick view, but very high in opening in browser or in foxit. sir

duplicate, please delete, thanks.
yeah I’ve thought about this too, but opening it with an external viewer still generates a process that’s being scanned…or not ??? (by webshield and File System Shield)…I’m not sure what happens…must look at the activity in Avast GUI to know this.
