I made a quick Firefox extension for this. It automatically replaces PDFs with links to PdfMeNot.

While the service is passworded: http://why.gd/downloads/pdfmenot_extension_passworded.xpi

For when they unpassword the service, install this one: http://why.gd/downloads/pdfmenot_extension.xpi

Releasing these into the public domain, free to use/release, do whatever. Enjoy!

Ughh... where can I sign up for FlashMeNot, a service where annoying flash "black boxes" (scribd in particular) get replaced with proper HTML/CSS?

Let me get this straight... it replaces PDF files with Flash. And that's good because..?

It needs a password. How ironic.

How to the Scribd guys feel about this? It's something I would expect Scribd to do (and maybe it does, just needs to advertise it more).

I guess this would be really useful on a Mac where PDF plugins only work for Safari (and one for Firefox but only on PowerPC).

viewing PDFs in safari is nice
