I use the Brave Brower, which works off the Chrome platform and have always been able to view a PDF attachment without having to save the document first.  That seems to have changed and now it will not allow me to open the PDF in the browser - I have save every document first.  This is rediculous!  I dont want to take up space by haing to save every single attachment!  How can I change it back to the way it was please?

Great!  what good is this forum if wont even let me post my Question!!! GRRRR.. so annoying!

Sorry, but this is definitely not an Adobe issue. Ask whoever produces the “Brave Browser” why they force you to save and then open the PDF file.

 

In the case of Chrome, there is a built-in, low functionality, non-Adobe PDF viewer although you can configure Chrome to simply save the file. Maybe the “Brave Browser” folks have inherited that PDF viewing code. But you need to ask them directly.

What does this have to do with Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe in general? Contact the developers of the browser and report this issue.

I am not the only one with this issue, and its not the browser - this is an Adobe issue
