Firefox's Built in PDF Viewer
For those of you who use Firefox, you may have noticed that it uses its own built-in PDF viewer by default, instead of the Acrobat plugin used previously. This new viewer has caused some problems for our users when viewing and printing files generated by WAMR.
To switch back to the Acrobat plug-in, follow these steps from within Firefox:
- Click Options (on a Mac, click Firefox > Preferences).
- Click the "General" tab to the left
- Scroll down to "Applications". (Or search for "PDF" in the search box on the top.)
- In the box, find "Portable Document Format."
- To the right, click on "Open in Firefox" and click the down arrow that appears to the right.
- Select "Use other" and choose "Use Adobe Acrobat Reader"
- Click OK.
