Hello, Is it possible to customize the printer button behaviors in built-in PDF viewer by using javascript or any other...? When user click view button on my page, my app will open the pdf file with watermark within built-in PDF viewer. When user click the printer button in built-in PDF viewer, I need to execute some code to get the unwatermark pdf file and print the pdf. Is it possible to do that? thanks for your help!!!!

You can't modify the built-in PDF viewer, but you can install the web app version of the PDF viewer on your web server and modify it to your liking. Then you can serve PDFs through your viewer instead of directly to Firefox.
