Change default behavior for opening pdfs

[edominic]

Hey guys,
a little question to you.

Is it possible to change the behavior of opening pdfs?

The default behavior is that the included pdf-plugin will be opened if I want to open a pdf. But I want something like a switch, that the user can decide if the pdf will be opened in pdf-plugin or it will be opened in native pdf reader (pdf reader from OS).

Is there any solution instead of removing pdf-plugin on start of cef?

There is no external PDF plugin that works in Chromium currently. You would need to download the file and then have your application open it using some other PDF viewer. Assuming you're using a current version of CEF running with the `--disable-pdf-extension` command-line flag will cause PDFs to trigger a download.

Too bad, but thanks for reply

I tried it, but it does not work correctly for me :/

If I set

Code: Select all

--disable-pdf-extension

to sample app, it works fine, but if I put it on my application, chromium is still loading pdf-plugin.

I already tried setting the arg directly to CefApp.getInstance :

Code: Select all

xyz = CefApp.getInstance(new String[]{"--disable-pdf-extension"}, new JCefSettings().getCefSettings());

command-line-args are not disabled in cefsettings.
The only setting I change is resources_dir_path (I need to for my application).

I don't know, what I should do now -.-"

Edit:

I am using latest jcef on macOs
