Chromium PDF handling
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:48 am
For those of you using Chromium you might notice that when you click on a PDF it asks you to save instead of viewing. It is missing a plugin that is in Chrome.
This is only for Linux. Don't know about Chromium in Windows.
copy the plugin to destination folder:
(note: /usr/lib/chromium-browser is valid for my Ubuntu PPA version, might be /opt/chromium-browser or something on other distributions)
cp /opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/
restart any open Chromium processes
check about:plugins for the Chrome PDF Viewer, should not need any enabling
