Steps: 1. Install Dave's Galaxy 2. Go to the about page and click the link titled resume Expected: The behavior for a web application does need some clarity, but the best case is that the PDF should render within the application. Another option could be that the user is prompted to download the PDF. Actual: A white screen is rendered on the application content window. Additional Notes: May need product management or UX to comment to here to determine what the best behavior is for a 1st release.
Bill - Would this be a good integration point for PDF.js? Or should we do something different in the short-term?
Jason, I think this would work today in FF nightly if you could enable PDF.js add-on in WebRT. Something to think about after PDF.js lands in FF aurora

Strangely enough, if I go to http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040ez.pdf?portlet=3 within the web runtime, I am able to see the file within the web runtime.
Doesn't look like this happens anymore. You are able to view pdfs within the web runtime. I do wonder why this has become the case though...
