Firefox and forks > Chromium Browsers > Adobe Reader as far as PDFs go

[u/Warcraft_Fan → u/Skyyblaze]

Firefox still gets weird when you're printing PDF to a non-standard size like a 4x6 label printer. One time I'd get 4 labels, each showing 1/4 of the page. Other time it got shrunk tiny because it double-scaled down.

When printing and it's not to letter size, I still use Adobe.

Id say chrome is better for pdfs mainly bc of the cool feature they added that lets u copy and ctrl+f text in ANY pdf, even pdfs that dont normally let u

[u/CROdator]

what, youre telling me you use adobe acrobat or smtn? why?

[u/kitty_snugs → u/CROdator]

Sumatra

[u/YellowFogLights → u/CROdator]

That was my first thought as well. Either that or they think Chrome is somehow better than Edge.

[u/robothawk → u/YellowFogLights]

...

Firefox? Anybody? It has actually decent edit features too. And it can better bypass read/write protections for copying

[u/matchumac → u/robothawk]

Firefox is unironically my favorite PDF editor

[u/RUPlayersSuck → u/robothawk]

Did not know this. Appreciate the tip! 👍

[u/sousatubaphone → u/CROdator]

I use adobe acrobat to print MTG proxies. For whatever reason Edge and Chrome make the cards print out like 2mm short than they should be.

[u/Tununias → u/CROdator]

I tend to use Xreader. I don’t like to open documents in web browsers.

[u/MeowBean321 → u/CROdator]

I use adobe acrobat to copy arabic text from pdf, because if i copy from pdf opened from browser the copied text will be in chaotic position

[u/Proxy_PlayerHD → u/CROdator]

Our work laptops come pre installed with it and I still have no idea why.

Maybe cause it actually allows you to edit PDFs but then again why, we never really need to do that

[u/Admiralbenbow123 → u/CROdator]

This might sound controversial, but I used to open pdfs in Adobe Acrobat at work, but it was a free version and it would constantly ask you to pay if you wanted to do almost anything and would occasionally reset its settings, so I switched to using Edge, which apparently has an Adobe-based pdf viewer, except it isn't annoying and works better. Been using Edge ever since

Edge pdf viewer is genuinely quite good as far as pdf viewers go

[u/TheMountainRidesElia]

Edge is pretty good for PDFs tho.... Not worth much of anything else, but great for pdf

[u/UndGrdhunter]

It is my main browser.

Maybe I'm the 1% lol

[u/N8DoubleU → u/UndGrdhunter]

For work, it’s not a horrible browser. It’s just horrible at everything else Microsoft forces you to use it for, like viewing pdfs.

[u/venom21685 → u/N8DoubleU]

Yeah everyone loves Edging at work.

[u/lctdmf → u/UndGrdhunter]

Edge is awesome.

[u/MNlcn27]

Lmao this made me laugh way too hard

[u/NeoNova9]

how is a newer browser "the ancient one" ?

[u/Macleod7373]

Why does it sound like Contrapoints wrote this meme?

[u/CylixrDoesStuff]

The second i "upgraded" to win11 recently, after fixing a ton of things, the next thing i did was immediately make sure all my files open up in the correct apps since for whatever reason Microsoft thinks its sooo fun to change my preferences that ive set for multiple years and kept, but noooo i totally want to use the microsoft video player instead of vlc, i totally want to use edge instead of opening up in the browser I use, i totally want to open up the zip in the file explorer and NOT in winrar. That would be insane

[u/Milli0nStabs]

Its actually a pretty decent PDF viewer

[u/TemporaryFew2501]

I removed Edge from my whole computer so this doesn't happen lol

[u/N8DoubleU → u/TemporaryFew2501]

And then you update and it comes back. I gave up.

[u/IV-II-Void → u/TemporaryFew2501]

Do it. Make your enemies your ally.

[u/Sor_o → u/TemporaryFew2501]

Edge be like: "I’m only here for PDFs and chaos!" 😂

[u/One-Blackberry-9786]

yeah just wanted that one doc and suddenly chaos

[u/Ancient-Balance-]

Well, the text to speech is nice... especially for my dyslexic ass.

[u/tychii93]

I actually preferred pre-Chromium edge for PDFs, I exclusively used it for that. Too bad that's gone now.
