Show Pdfs as is when in read mode?

Hi

Is it possible to read the original pdf when reading the pdf file in the browser? It seems like it presents some kind of OCR or text version of the actual pdf which most of the time looks very very uggly. I am trying to read PDFs downloaded from archive.org

thanks

No, it isn't. Most brsers/devices have built-in readers. Simply download the PDF file and use one of those instead.
