Converting a PDF to HTML in this way eliminates the common problem Web browsers have of locking up and crashing when attempting to display a PDF file inside the browser window.

If you like, you can configure PDF Download so that whenever you click on a PDF file, it is automatically converted and displayed as an HTML Web page. Alternatively, each time you click on a PDF file, you can be prompted with a dialog that asks you what to do with the PDF - download the PDF, open it, or view as HTML.
