Custom pdf plugin for internet exporer, firefox ,chrome etc..

Question

I want to write a custom plugin which can open a pdf file for popular browsers(IE , Firefox, Chrome). I am going to use some open source pdf viewer code if I can and put some checks in that code for authentication and license validity.

Actually the plugin should work with many file types(Video, audio, doc etc...), I am trying to develop one for pdf as a start.

Any help with this will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

You should research NPAPI and ActiveX, which are how browser plugins are developed for all browsers but IE, and IE, respectively. Then, as suggested in the comments, come back when you have specific questions.
