Open pdf with native viewer?

[robinm2]

Is it possible to tell CEF to open PDF files with the preferred viewer from the OS instead of a CEF window?
I'm using cef 128.4.9 on Windows.

Update: I modified our OnDownloadUpdated callback to call ShellExecuteA on the file when the download is complete, if the user chose to open the file directly.
He can still click the popup at the top right corner and it will open the chrome viewer, but that's okay I guess.

You can disable the built-in PDF viewer, and a download will be triggered by default. See https://support.google.com/chrome/threa ... ewer?hl=en

But how do you replicate those steps programmatically in CEF?
Anyway the current solution fits our needs. Thank you.

I think you can use plugins.always_open_pdf_externally preference.
Set this to true on startup. I did not tried this personally, but it should work.
