6 PDF Addons for firefox 3

Mozilla Firefox has since long had problems with Adobe’s PDF format files.It used to crash the browser when someone tried to view the pdfsThere were also other problems like memory leaks etc.Though, a lot of those bugs have been fixed in Firefox 3, there still exists some problems with pdf usage in Firefox.So we came up with the following excellent addons for Firefox,which will reduce the hassle and make your favorite browser remain favorite. Some of the following addons also allow you to play with the pdfs.

 

  • PDF Download- The most powerful of the bunch, PDF Download allows you to do just about anything imaginable. View PDFs in Firefox as HTML, automatically control how the browser handles the PDF format, and also convert any web page to a PDF you can save for later.
  • PrintPDF- Due to Apple people already having the “print to PDF” feature, this extension (which allows you to do just that) is for Windows and Linux users. Print any web page to a PDF file, and save on some paper!
  • PDFescape Extension- Want to edit your PDF files from within the browser? PDFescape brings that functionality to Firefox. PDFescape enables you to open and edit PDF files & forms online.
  • LOOP to PDF for Firefox - Upload, convert and combine your files to PDF from a tidy toolbar, without the conversion getting in the way of your Web browsing. LOOP for Firefox allows you to convert and combine files to PDF with the click of a button.
  • pdfit- This oddly named add-on gives you the ability to convert the current page to an image or PDF formats. You can also apply some image filters, such as rotate or reflection, to give your conversion a little style.
  • Send to Google Docs- What does Google Docs have to do with PDF files? This extension for Firefox allows you to view web documents in Google Docs. It supports PDF files too. (as well as Microsoft Office and Open Office files)

As it is with all the Firefox addons, the above addons will mostly be compatible with other Firefox variants like Flock etc.Please report if they don’t work in other browsers.Enjoy the collection for now :)
