Dear categorists,
Lately, Firefox introduced a built-in browser PDF viewer so PDF files can be read directly within the browser.
This new built-in PDF viewer has problems displaying some fonts. For example, tips of arrows in commutative diagrams are rendered invisible and cannot be printed, and in one PDF file posted on the web about vector spaces, I noticed that the “+” and “=” signs were invisible and cannot be printed.
Internet Explorer, Safari, and Google Chrome were fine, but for those who use the latest version of Firefox browser to view PDF files, you may want to let Firefox use a PDF reader plugin like Adobe Reader, Nitro PDF Reader or Sumatra PDF, if installed.
To change from using the built-in PDF viewer to your PDF reader plugin:
1. At the top of the Firefox window, find and click on Options. (e.g. Tools > Options).
2. Select the Applications panel.
3. Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
4. Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select the Use PDF reader name (e.g. Use Adobe Reader).
Best regards,
Moh’d Alsani
