Autoload for all pdfs? #1

Love this thing. Do I understand correctly that you have to open the bookmark for every pdf though? If yes, any idea if it could be automatically loaded somehow?

Thanks, glad you found it useful! It's correct that the bookmarklet needs to be reloaded for every pdf.

Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't allow executing scripts on pdf pages (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1454760). Otherwise, it should be possible to use tampermonkey or similar extensions. Not sure if there's a way other than to upstream the feature to pdf.js.

+1 to upstreaming it to pdf.js. If anyone makes a tampermonkey script I'd love to use it.
