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.

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.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

PDF Reader and Editor has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
