Good point. There should be a way to save the PDF from the right-click menu.

Currently there are two ways of saving the PDF:
1. File->Save Page As menu
2. The apple-s (command-s) keyboard shortcut

If the PDF is displayed in a frame, neither of the above suggestions work - 
both will only save the parent HTML 
document. It appears that there is no way to save a PDF that is in a frame.

Great extension, by the way - PDF support is one of the main reasons I 
currently use Safari rather than Firefox. If 
the save issue is fixed, I'll probably switch back. Thanks!

broadened issue to include "Open with Preview", "Print", etc.

Colesbury, 

Thank you so much for writing this plug-in -- I've been looking for something 
like
this for years. The Apple store employees in my hometown have gotten tired of my
constant requests for a plugin like this. 

As for additional features, I second the request for contextual menu support for
print and save functionality. Another feature that would be useful is the 
ability to
switch the cursor mode from the "hand tool" to the "text select" tool that is
available in A.Reader. 

Again, thank you so much for this plugin. The lack of a plugin like this for 
Firefox
on Mac has been glaring for a long time.

Would also use this gratefully if an 'Open in Preview' menu option were added.

In response to comment 5: instead of Preview specifically, there should be a 
context
menu item that opens the PDF in the default handler (i.e. if the user has 
defined
.pdf to be opened by Acrobat or Acrobat Reader instead of Preview). But I agree 
that
save/print context items are needed badly. I view a lot of scientific journal
articles and many of them are displayed in frames, and at times I need to print 
them.
This should be doable from within Firefox/plugin.

I also appreciate the development of the plug-in, and add my strong "Please!" in
favor of a way to save a PDF in a frame.  I access PDFs on court websites that
display PDFs in frames which requires me to turn off the plug-in so I can open 
the
PDF in a way that allows it to be saved.

I would also love a way to save the pdf from within the plug-in. That's the 
main item
I see lacking.

Thank you again for the hard work!

Great plugin, but for me few things are missing:
- The ability by a click to open it with the default viewer 
- The ability by a click to download it.

In fact, it would be great if it could bring the power of Safari PDF viewer !

Thanks for the work done !

I found a work-around that allows you to save a PDF opened in a frame:

(1)  Click the Favicon in the address bar of Firefox and then click the "More
Information" button (Or select "Page Info" from the Tools menu);

(2) select the "Media" tab

The pdf document should be listed in the Media tab, although it won't display 
in the
preview area.  Click the "Save As..." button and it will save that file.

Great plugin, thanks!

Unfortunately, I am unable to use it.  In certain situations (such as viewing
statements at my bank, Chase), the PDF is opened in a window, and there is no 
direct
download link.  Since the plugin takes over, I have no way of downloading the
statement or saving it, except to disable the plugin and restarting firefox.

It would be *really* nice if you could add a contextual menu item that would 
allow
the PDF to be saved or opened with the default application.
