I know this is a bit of a tangent, but I'll mention it because I think it's so useful. There is a Firefox plug-in named "PDF Download" which gives you the choice on each PDF file accessed to download it or view it in-browsers (assuming the Adobe Reader / Acrobat plug-in is installed). It can also perform an HTML conversion for in-browser viewing if you don't have the plug-in. Most of the time, I don't want to view PDFs in the browser, but I also don't want to mess with the system-level installation of the PDF plug-in. You can find it via the Firefox Extensions download service. > ... > > -- > Cheers, > Carlos E. R.
