How do I open a pdf file with out first having to save it to my computer?

I assume there must be a setting for this but I can't find it

How does you open the PDF file?

[Mike243721612itd]

I save it to my computer and then open it using Acrobat Reader. But I want to avoid having to save it first and be able open it directly. Currently there doesn't seem to be an option to do this, but previously there was.

Look at the settings of your web browser.

What settings in particular? I'm having the same issue & can't figure it out.  Thanks.

That depends on the browser you're using.

Any PDF file you view is saved to the computer, there's no way around that. It can be as a temporary file, though. That is handled by your browser's settings.
