Description Michael Moroni 2010-05-03 19:19:22 UTC 
Hi you all, I'm used to using both Windows and Linux because my parents wants to use the first one and I want to use the second one.

I see that Adobe Acrobat Reader automatically opens downloaded PDF file through the web browser and if you want to save the file, you have to click the related botton. Is it possible to make Evince opening PDF files through web browsers?

I hope you understood which the problem is. If not, don't hezitate asking me more infos :)

Looks like a duplicate of bug 168933.

Michael, do you mean evince embedded in the web browser?
Comment 3 Michael Moroni 2010-09-20 07:47:42 UTC 
Sorry for answering now.
Yes, I mean that evince should open embedded in the browser (FF, epiphany, midori, ...). It should be useful, instead of downloading everytime the file and opening it
Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2010-11-06 17:10:00 UTC 
Well. I don't see that you've got a valid point, because your Webbrowser doesn't necessarily download the file again. If it open the same file twice, it won't fire up a new Evince instance, because the old instance displaying the document will be reused.
Anyway I'm reopen this bug as the requested information has been provided. Maintainers might just close as NOTABUG if appropriate.
