Open in PDF Reader - A Chrome Extension for Easy PDF Viewing

"Open in PDF Reader" is a functional Chrome extension that allows users to direct PDF links from the context menu to their preferred external PDF viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or FoxIt PDF reader. It can also transfer already opened PDF files to the external viewer or detect PDF links for one-click opening. To assure safe usage, it can operate with a user-defined delay, allowing your antivirus app to scan files before they're opened. First use access requires native client installation. Note major updates in the change logs.
