I use Chrome for Mac. Is there any way to open PDFs inline, avoiding the clunky save-to-disk rigmarole?

There is the open pdf with google docs extension.

Chrome can display PDFs natively inline .... go to chrome://plugins/ and enable the PDF viewer

Oh hey! They also have the native plugin, available, at least on the pc side. Type in "chrome://plugins" into the address bar, and see if there is a Chrome PDF Viewer in the list. If so, it should have a button to enable it.

Wow, how come I never knew about the PDF plugin? Works for me on Chrome/Mac. Awesome!
