View Signed Form in Browser (instead of downloading it)

Hi!

For a week or so, we've been having the issue where going to a link for a signed PDF will automatically download the PDF to the computer instead of displaying it in browser. This happens regardless of the browser's settings for how to handle PDF files. Is there an option I'm missing that controls this behaviour?

For us, it is much easier to simply view the signed document (to verify it was filled out correctly), then have our browsers set to purge cache on exit, rather than having to delete hordes of downloaded files (and having to open them and then close them one by one).

Thanks

Hi Caleb,

This is a change introduced by our January update on the 23rd of jan.

regardless of which PDF viewer is set to be the default pdf handler the pdf opens outside  the browser.

I'm not entirely sure if this is an intended change or not, though it's an issue flagged with our engineering team.

    Until this issue is resolved, a temporary solution I've found is to use this: InlineDisposition :: Add-ons for Firefox

    "InlineDisposition changes the disposition of Content-Disposition response headers from attachment to inline; this prevents servers from forcing the browser to save a file and allows that file to be viewed in the browser, if the browser supports it."

    Hi Caleb,

    Thanks for bringing this up, yes this has been resolved.

    PDF should open in the pdf viewer of the browser if one is configured.
