pdfjs and epdfview seem randomly interchangeable #163

Closed kaihendry closed 8 years ago

kaihendry commented 11 years ago

I did try remove epdfview in the recent diet purge, but then pdfjs wouldn't kick in. Didn't investigate further.

Now when doing a PDF test with http://letterly.com/ sometimes the PDFJS viewer renders the PDF and other times EPDFVIEW works and I have no idea why it seems to be almost randomly going between the two!

When loading hendry.iki.fi/msc.pdf epdfview gets triggered after allowing mozplugger. Terrible UX.

I'm still confused WHY pdf.js was not used here. Plugin priority ?

I would just turn off click to play

Set the pref:

plugin.default.state

to 2

kaihendry commented 10 years ago

Ok thanks. Now where is the right place to plonk these preferences again. Ho hummm... I'll figure it out.

defaults/preferences/prefs.js

kaihendry commented 10 years ago

Hmm, now AFAICT pdf.js seems to be the default.

Haven't tried disabling it yet http://webconverger.org/printing/

mkaply commented 10 years ago

Yeah PDF.js has been the default for a while. If you don't want it, you would have to explicitly disable it.

kaihendry commented 10 years ago

Hmm, without plugin.default.state set to 2, it was trying to invoke the native PDF epdfview viewer.

I'll keep it around for the time being since printing from pdf.js is probably still awful since it's rasterized.

I want to remove epdfview in testing...

mkaply commented 9 years ago

I think the reason you were seeing a difference is embedded PDF versus full screen. You should be able to remove epdfview now

kaihendry commented 8 years ago

epdfview is removed.
