★★★☆☆ Jay · 25 Aug 2023It does work, however the inability to download the pdf to a temporary file and open it from there, the way Firefox can, makes this app unusable for me. If it would at least give the option to choose a download location I could set up my own temporary file and use Windows Task Manager to occasionally delete the file then maybe I could work with it, but it gives no other option other than your default downloads file, which I do not want filling up with a bunch of pdf's.

★☆☆☆☆ Karla · 18 Oct 2021It copies the file into the user's downloads folder. The whole reason we need it is for users to edit PDFs and fill and sign forms. If they're editing a local copy, changes they make won't be copied up to the original location. This is not at all useful for us.

★☆☆☆☆ Kaiser · 21 Aug 2020Makes no sense to have to right click and select anything. A standard click should cause it to open in my PDF Reader program. MS Edge is such an inferior reading experience, just like IE, just like Chrome, etc. Adobe DC Reader, simple, elegant, perfect.

How these figures are measured
Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
