12 Word Searches relies on the PDF annotation feature and explicitly recommends against Firefox/pdf.js #17193

Attach (recommended) or Link to PDF file here: See STR

Configuration:

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Go to https://playcebo.itch.io/12-word-searches
  2. Download one of the word searches
  3. Do some highlighting

What is the expected behavior? (add screenshot)

Can highlight found words without interruption

What went wrong? (add screenshot)

The page says:

Use a PDF-annotator other than Firefox's built-in viewer

After trying it out for maybe 2 minute it quickly becomes obvious that pdf.js introduces huge bounding boxes around the highlighted parts. Afterwards it's impossible to add new highlights in the area covered by that bounding box.

Is this perhaps effectively a duplicate of bug 1843299, given that it's (currently) not possible to add an Editor on top of another one?
