My company's line of business app (we're an insurance agency) depends on the browser plugin to display PDF's that are attached to customer accounts. Unfortunately, the app displays the PDF in a small window that cannot be resized and requests to the software vendor to find another way to handle PDF's have been virtually ignored. To get around this, we've been disabling "Display PDF in browser" to force PDF's to open in the full Reader program. As luck would have it, at least one agency we do business with requires the browser plugin, otherwise it assumes we have no PDF program and asks the user to download Adobe Reader. So we have people constantly going back & forth, disabling and enabling the browser plugin. I looked at the SDK and there's a sample plugin to open a PDF in an external window. I loaded it up in Visual Studio and built the project, but it appears to not be working (maybe it's strictly for Acrobat). It would be awesome if there could be a button on the toolbar to open the PDF externally when you open it in a browser. Any ideas we can try? This image gives you an idea of what my end users are looking at.
