Does anyone know when will be release a plugin for viewing pdf files (into an internal or external pdf viewer) in Google Chrome ?
By default Chrome uses plugins from the same directory as FFox. For pdf files specifically, there is a Chrome-only plugin at /opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so; the pdf is embedded and uses a context-menu for control. My experience with the plugin is limited, but it appears to work fine. If this plug-in is disabled, Chrome will call whichever program is associated with the pdf mime type; on my system that is Okular which is run externally and this method works well.
I was looking into this folder: /opt/google/chrome, but I don't see libpdf.so How you have installed this library ?
It's in the Chrome package in the Google repository. I'm using: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 although the following should also work: http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64 For 32-bit, substitute "i386" There are stable and unstable versions; I'm using unstable 6.0.472.0-53024 You can see all the plugins, similar to FFox, with: chrome://plugins (in the address bar).
