Description from store
Annoyed by PDFs that download and save instead of just showing in the tab?
This extension encourages PDFs to show in the browser rather than downloading.
That's it. Nothing else.
======== Details ========
This works by setting the "Content-Disposition: Inline" header under these conditions:
- Content is displayed in the full window (main_frame)
AND
- The response contains "Content-type: application/pdf"
OR
- The response contains "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename of "*.pdf"
Note that some sites use the "download" attribute in links (e.g. <a href="" download>) which we can't override, but you can right-click those PDFs and select "Open Link in a New Tab".

- (2022-10-11) Amir: All you need to not to save a PDF but to read it!
- (2020-07-14) Hari Tharani: not even opening very bad n not useful
- (2020-02-21) Michael Richter: Exactly what I was looking for.
- (2019-11-20) Chris Vydas: Did not work at all! Not working on pc and not working on mobile.
- (2019-05-30) Ellen Winney: Needed this for a website that insisted its PDFs be downloaded instead of just displayed inline. This extension did exactly what I needed, thanks.
- (2019-04-29) Tom Lomax: Amazing, just the thing for perusing datasheets etc. Still working great in Apr 2019...
- (2018-11-03) Brissa: Does exactly what it says it will. Great extension!
- (2018-02-23) Jozef Mikušinec: Sometimes fails, producing this warning: Warning: This extension failed to modify the response header "content-disposition" of a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension (Render PDFs Inline).
- (2017-06-10) Simple and efficient! An options' panel with a domain white/black list would be a cool addition. Also, the ability to pick other mime-types would be a big plus :)
- (2017-01-22) Zak Wilson: Does what it says on the tin. It would be nice to be able to override content-disposition for other filetypes as well (I sometimes see it with images).
- (2016-05-11) Şahin Karabıçak: Çok memnunum
- (2016-02-03) Adam Geary: Thank you for making this. I've been going through lots of spec sheets for various products lately and half will open inline, half will insist on downloading. I don't want 500 random PDFs sitting around in my downloads folder, so this extension solves that for me.
- (2015-11-12) Paul Combal: It doesn't seem to always work.
