Hi,
I've just installed Chromium 8.0.552.0 (62249) but I can't still view pdf inside the browser.  :-[


I can. I went to this link to test.

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf


How can I set Chromium to open pdfs with Okular? Now it tries to open the internal pdf viewer.

Thanks

Isn't that what you've been trying to do? Open it inside the browser?

With the latest update (9.0.570.1 (64589)) I can now open pdfs inside Chromium. The internal viewer has problems with encrypted documents but I hope this will be resolved in an upcoming version.

Thanks.
