No PDF Download Extension

While most PDF files can be viewed directly in the browser some PDFs will trigger a \"Save as\"-dialog or will be downloaded automatically. This addon views all PDF files directly in the browser. You can still save the PDF by pressing CTRL+S (or CMD+S) after viewing them.

Some web servers are misconfigured and don't tell the browser that a file is a PDF. In this case the file will still be downloaded even when this addon is active. If you encounter a PDF that is downloaded feel free to send the URL to the support email address so I can check if this it's a bug in the addon or just a server issue.

Carl W (ID: 0000000689b902f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 I just FINALLY found this thanks to a a comment on StackExchange. Yes, I tried changing the chrome / chromebook default to 'open in chrome' but that often didn't work, due to website instructions to 'save', I guess. I don't know about the long-term usage of this app, but my immediate review is "Ah, yes! Finally. Thanks" For now 5 stars!

Angela Hoffmann (ID: 000000a3620ebed9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Endlich eine Lösung für PDF die man nur einsehen möchte, deren Download aber nicht nötig oder gar überflüssig ist. Ich empfehle diese Erweiterung, sie kommt in alle meine Browserprofile
