Better pdf Reader Needed
-
What about including the one from Firefox (pdf.js if I'm not mistaken)? Is that feasible?

Hello all,
i would also like to point out that while we love Vivaldi, indeed it lacks the PDF Viewer it has.
It would make it super functional to add:
-
Pencil icon so we can quickly sign, draw something on a PDF we open with Vivaldi.
-
The ability to upload an image to PDF and save it with that image included.
-
A highlight tool, so we can save it with the highlight included!

It will not happen.
Vivaldi is a Chromium fork, it will come with the PDF viewer of Chromium.
They do not have the resources to re-code Chromium's PDF Reader and patch it 2-3 times every month to apply their changes, in every new Chromium release.
There is also a chance Chromium to have major changes in the PDF reader and have to re-code the changes from scratch.
The only browser which is capable to patch that much Chromium is Edge because Microsoft is a trillion dollar company with a huge team behind Edge.
No other Chromium fork has the manpower for that many patches in every Chromium release.
The best place to ask for changes in Chromium's PDF Reader is here. -

Tip
- Install PDF-XChange Editor (the free version is adequate for most users).
- Enable Internal PDF Viewer for Vivaldi at Settings, Webpages
- Associated PDF Files with PDF-XChange Editor
- Open PDF files in Vivaldi by clicking the link to the PDF on any web page
- Disable Internal PDF Viewer in Settings Webpages
- Right-click a link to a PDF and select Open from the download dialog to open the PDF for annotation in PDF-XChange Editor

For anyone who is not satisfied with the other workarounds recommended in this thread, I would warmly recommend setting up this chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pdf-reader/ieepebpjnkhaiioojkepfniodjmjjihl
It's just pdf.js for chrome; so basically the pdf reader firefox uses. It has basic functionality like adding text and highlights

Edge does not use PDFium?

@DoctorG edge has their own PDF reader and more powerful than chrome, thats one of reason ppl still use microsoft edge
