Google Chrome integrates display of PDF into browser

Can be turned off in chrome://plugins - for those who don't like PDF plugins and prefer a proper application like Evince or Skim (or, well, Adobe Reader).

Still no way to disable the annoying download confirmation message, which now also pops up with PDFs.

Thanks, it was bugged in my 8.x OSX version of Chrome (can't change page)

Anyone know if they're using the JS-based renderer, or is this C/C++-level code?

Probably C++. A quick Google Code Search on the Chromium project reveals files like this one: http://codesearch.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#OAMlx_jo-ck/...

I'm not 100% sure that's relevant code to the discussion at hand, but it seems likely.

It's C++. AFAIK it's built on top of the Foxit SDK.

I can confirm that there were foxit references in pre-beta source code

edit: i think this was the reference i was thinking of, is it for this feature, or is it unrelated?

On Ubuntu if I go to chrome://plugins it says:

/opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so

Is that foxit SDK?
