      hello, how can I disable the integrated pdf viewer, the option in the settings, only makes that instead of opening in opera, the pdf is downloaded... what I want is that it can be opened with the adobe reader extension that I have installed from the chrome store because it has many features.

          @leocg thanks, maybe you don't understand me, what I want is that the adobe extension works, so it should open the pdf from the internet in the browser making use of the extension automatically, and not having to download the files. it may seem a whim but it is something very convenient when at certain times many files are reviewed.

            @jairotimbe Does Adobe reader extension work in Chrome/Edge like you want?
            If not, then it won't work in Opera either.
            If yes, then you may file support request either to Opera or Adobe.

              @jairotimbe For a file to be opened, it needs to be downloaded.

              Most probably the extension uses some API that is not supported by Opera. The PDF reader is the Chromium one and, therefore, the same used by Chrome.

                Installing https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adobe-acrobat-pdf-edit-co/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/ in Opera seems to work fine for me. PDFs load in that Adobe extension instead of Opera's built-in PDF viewer. And, once loaded in the Adobe extension, clicking "open in desktop app" allows you to open the pdf in the external Adobe Reader program instead if you desire.

                  I had the same issue. For some reason, in the extension settings of the Adobe viewer at opera://extensions/?id=efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj "Allow access to file URLs" was switched off by default. Turning the slider on fixed it
