            Bug ID: 260019
           Summary: There should be an easily accessible way to disable
                    pdf.js at runtime
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: PDF
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

I prefer my local PDF viewer over pdf.js and would like my browser (in case it matters: luakit) to directly hand through PDFs to it.  I have groped around in the Webkit source a bit, but all I could find was the build-time ENABLED(PDF) switches – which is not helpful in my case, as I would like to keep using my distribution's packages), and grepping for enable-something in the built libwebkitgtk did not yield anything either.

So... can we have a pdf.js-switch?  Or could the the pdf.js machinery at
least honour the enable-plugins setting?
