View PDF files on a Web page without downloading? Asked 9 years, 6 months ago. Active 6 years, 9 months ago. If you're using FireFox, just use the download button, that's what it's for! Apparently there are ways to lock down the download feature.
I've attached the example I am currently struggling with for your information. I am sorry the right click menu is in German, but trust me when I say that there is no download option there either. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
That doesn't look at all like that. And Chrome doesn't allow any other PDF viewer. From this we can conclude that this is not a PDF at all. It's a web site designed to offer something in pages, and so it's easily mistaken for a PDF. It might have been a PDF back on its web site in China, but that isn't what is delivered to you. Hence, this discussion does not apply.
I have no idea if you can save it, because I don't know what facilities you have for saving something on a secure web site that isn't a PDF. Thank you for clarifying! I still don't believe that "just hit the download button" is a good answer to the question "[how can I] download [a] PDF from a website that has no such option to download that PDF".
Obviously FyTg is not a "techie" user and getting into the intricacies of how that PDF file he is viewing is not being served to him a PDF is not gonna solve his problem. I never use Chrome, but I just opened it and checked settings. To set Chrome to download pdf files rather than opening them in the Chrome viewer, open Settings, click on Privacy and security, then Site Settings.
Find Permissions and click on Additional permissions at the bottom of that section. Scroll way down the page to Additional content settings where you'll find PDF documents as the fourth entry. That's cleverly hidden setting deep in the bowels of Chrome will solve your problem in that browser. Firefox makes this easier. Go to General settings and scroll a little more than halfway down the page to Applications.
Choose your desired outcome for that item in the right column. I'm not sure of the diffence between the left column choices, so I'd set them both. Edge seems to be the easiest of all. Please be patient. Upload from Dropbox. Upload from Google Drive. Your files stay private. Here's how to view a PDF file online in 3 easy steps:.

I mean viewing a file on a website , the same way as on a desktop, within a dedicated app. If you want to preview your file , all you need is direct the URL to the file, but how can you know that you have a direct URL? Add inline embedder element on your website and in src attribute pass it a direct URL to your file. Just append your src attribute with an appropriate URL to a specific doc viewer, it will download your file from URL and then generate an HTML page from it, and then you direct your iframe to it and voila!
Of course… there are some limitations to this but not as bad as you might think.
