Hi List!

Chrome's PDF Viewer is great, but it kills one of my project.
I have an object tag in html wich shows a pdf file, and I have to make
communication between Acrobat JS and browser JS.
To make this, I use the object element's postMessage and
messageHandler functions.
It works great when the built-in pdf viewer is disabled, but fails
when enabled (the two messaging functions does not exists).
Turning it off in about:plugins is not an option for me this time.

Is there a way to tell chrome in html to not to use this feature?
If not, I think it could be implemented in the future.
Where is the right place for posting feature requests?

(the devs did something like this before to disable chrome's default
textarea resizing with style="resize:none;")

For feature requests, search http://crbug.com and star the one you find. If none is found, you can file a new bug (don't worry about the lack of distinction between bug and feature).

I did searching, but nothing found. I started a new issue here:
