Now search your online or downloaded PDF files right from your browser. New updated look! Now with dark and light themes!

Recent PDFs extension adds a menu to access your recently viewed PDFs!

Extremely useful for students, teachers, and for anyone who views PDF files within Chrome. Recent PDF pairs perfectly with the pdf viewer built into Chrome. All other pdf tools are the same! They don't help you organize and keep track of your PDF files.

Provides a pop-up menu with links to your recently visited PDF files. No more re-downloading the same PDF every time you need to view it.

THIS IS NOT A PDF VIEWER - but it works amazing alongside Chrome's PDF viewer or Sumatra PDF (or any other PDF viewer or editor)

Please comment bugs, suggestions, and any other thoughts you have!

Doesnt help when you have IDM as the default downloader. It also doesnt help in reading PDF files directly into the browser.
