User reviews
Users appreciate that "Open in PDF Reader" successfully opens PDF files and remains stable over time. However, multiple reviewers criticize its limited functionality, including inability to specify download locations or open files in temporary storage, which hampers editing workflows and causes clutter in downloads. The requirement of extra installation steps and the need to right-click instead of single-clicking also diminish user experience. Overall, while functional for basic PDF viewing, the extension lacks user-friendly and advanced features demanded by many.
Pros
- It works as intended to open PDF files.
- Users find it useful for basic PDF reading tasks.
- The extension is stable with consistent performance over months.
Cons
- The extension lacks ability to open PDFs from temporary files or offer customizable download locations, only saving to the default downloads folder.
- Editing PDFs within the extension is problematic as changes don't sync back to original files, leading to workflow issues.
- Additional installation steps like running an install.bat file are required, complicating setup.
- Users find the need to right-click and select options inefficient; a single-click opening is preferred.

It does work, however the inability to download the pdf to a temporary file and open it from there, the way Firefox can, makes this app unusable for me. If it would at least give the option to choose a download location I could set up my own temporary file and use Windows Task Manager to occasionally delete the file then maybe I could work with it, but it gives no other option other than your default downloads file, which I do not want filling up with a bunch of pdf's.
