Google Chrome introduces Chrome’s new PDF features for its users

Recently, Chrome has added a presentation mode and some PDF features. Google is planning to add another missing PDF feature to Chrome 88 so that it can display PDF metadata or document attributes.

The Chromium team is currently developing this feature, and it has been launched to the Canary test channel. Firefox already supports the display of PDF document properties. You can select ‘Document Properties’ in the tool.

Many third-party PDF readers also support this function, but Chrome does not currently support it. Google plans to make up for this in the next version. One defect.

If you want to view the PDF document properties in the Chrome browser in advance, you can do the following:

• Start Chrome browser
• Load chrome: // flags
• Search ‘PDF Viewer Update’ and enable it

Restart the browser:

• Open any local or online PDF file, click ‘three dots’, and then select ‘document properties’.

Currently, Chrome will display the following basic information and other detailed information: title, author, subject, application, PDF producer.

It is expected that more detailed information of the PDF can be displayed in the future, including the document name, file size, keywords, creation, modification, PDF version, number of pages, page size, and quick web browsing.
