I never liked the idea of making some file
format that requires its own reader for viewing whether it is the Word
Doc or the PDF files. PDF files require Adobe PDF reader or any other
PDF reader to open the file and can’t be opened without it. While it is
not very difficult to install one, I would suggest if you could avoid
the installation then why not?
For all those who have Chrome or Firefox browsers installed already on their system then there is perfectly no need to install any PDF reader. Chrome can be used to open a PDF file by default inside the browser and doesn’t require any specific reader for it, on the same lines, Firefox had also (with its new version FF15) released the built in Firefox viewer but it is disabled by default.
Here are some steps that can enable the default built-in Firefox viewer which can be used to open the PDF files. Doing this will also include a context menu “Open with” link on the PDF files so that you can open the files with firefox (thereby curbing the need of any PDF reader).
