Summary

This extension offers opening PDF links with PDF-XChange™ Viewer. After installation, a new item is added to the right-click context menu for PDF links. In the options page, you can configure the extension to open PDF links with PDF-XChange Viewer as well.

Note: PDF-XChange Viewer is capable of opening remote URLs so this extension by default only passes the URL of the PDF file to the PDF-XChange Viewer. If you also want to keep the original PDF file, go to the options page and enable "Download PDF file" option. This way a copy of the PDF file is first downloaded to the default download directory and then the local file is passed to the PDF-XChange Viewer.

Note: you will need to install a small native client for this extension to be able to communicate with this PDF viewer. This native client is only available on Window, Linux and Mac operating systems. However, at this point, there is nor Mac neither Linux versions of this PDF viewer.
