After the latest update in ACC, all PDFs are forced to open in the built-in ACC viewer instead of the browser’s native PDF viewer (previously Chrome PDF Viewer / PDFium). This change has a significant negative impact on daily workflows: Performance: The ACC PDF viewer takes around 10 seconds to open a file, compared to ~3 seconds before. Zoom & navigation: The zooming behavior is less precise. It jumps and does not stay focused on the title block or other details I need to check. Copying text: In the browser viewer, it was easier to copy document numbers, revision numbers, and other metadata for cross-checking with Omega and other systems. Workflow disruption: My typical process is to open the PDF in a side window while working with attributes in ACC. I also need to update statuses in ACC at the same time. The new viewer makes this more cumbersome. Additional impact: Because of the change, I now often have to download each PDF file to my computer in order to review them properly. This breaks the workflow inside ACC, makes it harder to keep track of document revisions directly in the system, and increases the risk of working on outdated files. Request: Please provide an option to choose between the ACC PDF Viewer and the native browser PDF viewer (Chrome PDF Viewer). The native viewer is faster, simpler, and better for users who mainly need to review, zoom, and copy text from PDFs rather than using advanced markup tools.
