An exact copy of other extension "PDF Viewer" with id of "jdlkkmamiaikhfampledjnhhkbeifokk" Similar to that, it can only append to the PDF, not actually edit it.

Does not work. Open file icon does nothing. If I select a pdf file and open with the extension, I get a blank.

Doesn't actually read the PDF to you. It's a decent file viewer though.

Not sure why this extension exists It is just copying (with less functionality) the official chrome extension for pdf.js does not have highlighting and commenting like the official extension has. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

I used it like it but the UI changes with new update is pretty bad to the point that I can no longer continue to use it

Does not open PDF-Links in Google searches with right click context menu "Openwith PDF Reader": https://www.google.com/search?q=test+pdf Yes: Allowed it to open files and search reasults. You should also add the option to open URLs in/from view mode, not only PDF files from HD.

The highlight button is in the way of actual page highlighting area. Make it button activated or in a non-obstructive area.

I randomly get the PDF article titled "Trace-based Just-in-Time Type Specialization for Dynamic Languages" while attempting to open PDF documents from my system. It's like this particular PDF document is hard baked into the extension for some reason (calibration? ).

You can't switch highlight color.

No dark reading mode (night mode). Blocks the Dark Reader app from making the page dark.

Ok at all, but when page size is less than 100%, fonts became unreadable.
