		nertzy on June 19, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Plugin allows inline PDFs for Firefox This is a Mac-only plugin, so I think evince doesn't really apply. Most Mac users would probably rather use the built-in PDF libraries, which form the basis of Mac OS X's graphics system. They are well implemented, fast, and work great without the mess of plugin chrome you get from Adobe Reader. And the output looks great. It's all about preventing people from needing to context-switch into application-switching and file management just to view a document.

But yeah, I guess if OS X has good built in pdf support, why not use it, so I can see the appeal on those grounds.
