html - How browsers support PDF viewing and which ones -

i utilize chrome , can view pdf urls in browsers pdf file. know if chrome natively supports or because of adobe plugin?

i need understand how browsers back upwards pdf viewing , ones do.

reason i'm asking i'm building pdf gallery viewer. looked pdf.js, , apparently it's awesome because converts pdf native web format browser back upwards it. see browsers back upwards viewing pdfs ( atleast ones hands on ) why pdf.js awesome?

chrome has own native back upwards pdf (it doesn't require separate plugin or adobe reader installed).

how chrome supports pdf

wikipedia notes that, of june 2010, chrome's built in pdf viewer plugin, running native code via pepper plugin api (ppapi). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/google_native_client#pepper

you can confirm setting click play alternative plugins , visiting pdf document online. note pdf displays after click jigsaw piece permit plugin run. click play alternative can found in chrome settings>show advanced settings>privacy>content settings>plug-ins.

other browsers built in pdf support

firefox & mac version of safari include built in pdf support. net explorer not, requires adobe reader installed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comparison_of_web_browsers#image_format_support
