User Reviews

• Add for MacKeeper was on the site

  sureshot-ajhMay 1, 2012

  Pros

  Improvement

  Cons

  MacKeeper on the CNET site next to the download. I don't know how CNET could accept an advertisement for MacKeeper and be an accessory to having an unsuspecting client download this vile ugly program that is almost impossible to remove.

  Summary

  How can you put an ad for MacKeeper next to a legitimate download.

  None I can think of.

• PDF gets distorted in Firefox using Mac OSX 10.4.11

  iheartpianorockOctober 17, 2010

  Pros

  Every PDF you open in your browser isn't automatically downloaded unto your computer.

  Cons

  The image of the PDF in my browser is distorted when I try to scroll down and read the PDF. Only part of the PDF window scrolls down, while some of the text on the top and side remain.

  Summary

  If you're looking for an in-browser view of PDF's like you get on a PC, don't get this plug-in.

• Lifesaver

  mattelfessoJune 29, 2009

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have used the PDF Browser Plugin for years and it has been a lifesaver. Even now, when Safari does a much better job at handling PDFs the PDF Browser Plugin in still a must. In the past Safari was unable to follow the hyperlinks within a PDF document making it unusable for an essential online reference that is used in my workplace. Now Safari can handle the hyperlinks on many pages but hangs when trying to scroll across multiple pages and fails to display the left-sided navigation pane. The PDF browser plugin, as always, handles these items with ease. It takes new users awhile to get used to using the special icon bar that the browser uses to handle the PDFs for saving and printing, rather than using Safari's menus. However it does its job magnificently and has been an essential addition for me.

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have also used this for years. It wouldn't work for me unless I disabled any other PDF plugins in the add ons with Firefox 3 It now works fine all buttons normal It also works in Safari and Camino NOTE It is only suitable for PPC machines, I don't think it works with Intel See System Requirements on VT iSight G5 PPC 10.5.5
