No idea what you mean. I'm on Ventura (13.1), just opened Preview and under File there's still 'Export as PDF' alive and well.
You're right - I am not sure what I was (mis)remembering ... However, I note that "export to pdf" is grayed out for a file that is already a PDF ... which I don't remember being the case ...
Just… use the existing file.
Next thing you'll know is that they will bring back RSS ....
Any day now, I expect them to drop the pretty JSON rendering as well.
Cool feature, although I note with some irony that once I have the PDF downloaded, I still have to then use Google's Drive PDF reader or some other tool to open it. Maybe work on a full stack PDF renderer like the desktop version has, Mozilla?
What do you mean "have to"? Why not use one of the plenty ope source PDF viewers for Android?

This is in the works. It's the same codebase as the desktop version, which is written in js. I've tested it on low end Android phones from 2017, it works well, when compared to the native offering, and also on modern high end phones, it also works well of course. What's missing is mobile specific UX, such as pinch-to-zoom, and UX/UI refinements, so it's nice to use. It has form support, annotations and other goodies…
Nice! Will it be exposed system-wide so that I can open PDFs from within any other app in Firefox?

The ones on f-droid are each horrible in its own specific way - some don't support scrolling, some don't support pinch-to-zoom, some have UX from 2012, some don't allow you to save the file (how am I supposed to save a bank statement then?).

No explanation on what the vulnerability is.

The MuPDF android versions are great, and KOReader is the best ebook and pdf reader I've ever used.
Maybe other people have other use cases, but the above work really well, and don't have known security vulnerabilities (since another commend complained about that).

Because for a dead simple read-only PDF viewer, I trust Google's security team over random Play Store app to properly sandbox the PDF and not let it do shady shit to my phone upon opening. I'd trust Firefox more if they provided one, but in their absence, Google has the talent and the resources to do it properly.
OT: i really want to use Firefox on Android, except the scrolling performance really sucks and always has, with every device, every FF version, and every Android version. it is so goddamn janky compared to Chrome and Opera (and i assume other Blink-based browsers). i'm on Android 13 and a top-spec Zenfone 9, so it should be a complete non-issue; it's pretty crazy how bad it still is after all this time :( unfortunate…
