Review Summary
Users appreciate PDF Viewer for its ease of use, fast performance, layer toggling capabilities, position memory, and translation support. However, multiple users express dissatisfaction about lack of PDF editing features, inability to convert PDFs, absence of a dark mode, and the need to manually reopen documents after browser restarts. The extension is well-liked as a free PDF reader but not suitable for users seeking editing or conversion functions.
Pros
- Allows viewing PDF documents easily within the browser without requiring downloads.
- Supports toggling PDF layers, which is not common in free viewers.
- Remembers the user's position in the document upon reopening.
- Enables text selection and supports integration with translation tools.
- Fast and practical for reading PDF files.
Cons
- Does not support editing PDFs, including adding comments, annotations, or sticky notes.
- Lacks features like dark mode which some users desire.
- Does not perform PDF conversions (e.g., to JPG) despite some claims or expectations.
- Does not reopen files automatically after closing and reopening the browser, requiring manual reopening each time.
- Some comments mention inaccurate rendering of comments made in Adobe Acrobat.
