Also, Google Chrome has also added the PDF functionality in the past, and Chrome has a feature called “PDF viewer” (in advanced settings), but it does not offer a great experience compared to a regular viewer and instead does not offer much in terms of advanced options for editing the PDF. The PDF viewer also lacks a “Print” button (the feature Chrome introduced to PDFs). Also, while PDF features are enabled for Firefox and Google Chrome it still does not support “Export” option, which allows you to print the PDF document, but if you want to keep it in a private folder it still cannot be done. The PDF reader's interface and experience is quite different from a regular viewer's experience, but it has many useful features that help you to work more smoothly while printing your files. However, PDF in Firefox and Chrome does not support the ability to import your PDFs from other software (like Google Docs / Airmail) from the Firefox desktop web browser, you can only import your PDFs from the Google Chrome web browser. PDF support in the Firefox
To enable the PDF viewing option in Firefox you need to go to Firefox's Settings, preferences → About Firefox. Click on the “Details” tab and check “Show PDF viewer.”
