What is XPDF Viewer?
XPDF Viewer is a beneficial Chrome extension designed to provide an organized view of your PDF files. Rather than opening multiple tabs in your Chrome browser, it opens PDFs in a dedicated window, making your web browsing cleaner and more efficient. The viewer offers you additional support for finding solutions if faced with potential issues such as Google Chrome disabling the extension by default. The user-friendly app also allows direct opening of PDFs from the Files app on Chromebook.
