I tried and I wasn't convinced. The letters appear messy and uneven, spacing varies with the zoom,... Not a good tool. In firefox, use Options Applications Use Acrobat for pdf instead. Infinitely better!

It isn't an app really. Most users have trouble to use it outside a web browser.

It will open most documents without significant problems... It takes tens of seconds to open a 20MB PDF file on a mid-range smartphone.
