If someone knows how to disable this fuckery, please tell me or i have to install adobe acrobat, it makes me crazy as it floats on all the open PDFs, covering text/content

    There is no good PDF reader. All of them suck in different ways.

      I just use Firefox to open pdfs. If I have to sign it I’ll just use an online signer.

        I do the same, except jump to adobe reader if I have to sign. But come on, this doesn’t satisfies either of us.

      As a Linux user, I was rather surprised to learn that Windows doesn’t have a good pdf viewer. (Sumatra was the closest I could get.) Scientific software I can understand, but pdf viewer? Wtf?

        I’m on Windows 11 and it opens PDF files in Edge by default. While I find it kind of silly to use a web browser for that purpose, the built-in PDF reader is actually fairly good, it can even read your documents out loud using text-to-speech.

          Edge’s reader is decent I agree. But in what kind of bizarro world do one use a browser to read PDFs.

          It pains me to say, but this is one area where Apple beats everyone. Their default PDF reader can do a LOT, it’s free, it’s already there and crucially it’s lightweight and not bogged down with shitty functionality no one needs, nor bristling with upsell towards premium features.
