PDF Download 2.0
If the thought of downloading a large PDF file makes you (or your computer) shiver, check out PDF Download 2.0. This free Firefox extension gives you several options upon encountering a PDF file. First, you are presented with a warning that you have encountered a PDF file. Then you are given the choice to download it, view it as HTML, skip it or bypass using PDF Download. Last year we looked at version 1.0. But since then, PDF Download has added at least one major new feature. Not only can you convert PDF to HTML for easier viewing and choose how and when to view your PDFs, you can now also convert a web page to a PDF document, keeping the general look and layout of the page.
PDF Download is useful because whenever you click on a PDF link, instead of just opening the link, you are given a choice on how to proceed. And some of those chices just might save you some time.

What's to dislike? I've used it since the private beta, and it seems to work great. What I like is the PDF-to-HTML conversion, which seems smoother now with the images and all that.
What are other people complaining about, though?
