PDF Reader and Editor

A general-purpose Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer based on Mozilla's PDF.js library

PDF Reader and Editor is a powerful Chrome extension leveraging Mozilla's pdf.js library to deliver a seamless PDF viewing and editing experience in your browser. Acting as a robust replacement for the default viewer, it supports remote and local PDF files with features like light and dark themes, page navigation, and customizable appearance to suit your preferences.

Beyond viewing, this extension allows for interactive editing including text and image insertion, digital signatures with pen or mouse drawing, and partial execution of PDF scripts. Advanced rendering options and easy PDF file access through drag-and-drop or UI controls make it a comprehensive tool for managing PDFs without leaving the browser.

Solved the biggest issue I had with Microsoft Edge by adding a hand tool to pdf's so I can move around the document without having to use the scroll bars. I found a thread on Microsoft where users had been requesting this feature for 3 1/2 years from Microsoft with no results.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PDF Reader and Editor requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
