Cannot be used to view locally-stored PDF files #12

If I download a .PDF file to disk, then drag-and-drop it into Opera, then PDF.js is not used. Instead, Opera 'downloads' the file to my Downloads folder.

Did you allow access to file URLs? Visit the extensions page (Ctrl + Shift + E) and make sure that the following checkbox is checked:

Allow access to file URLs

I didn't notice that tick-box - that's fixed it.

It's unintuitive that the default is for this to be disabled. Is this up to the plugin, or the Opera browser itself?

It's up to the browser. Chrome has the same limitations.
