A couple of months ago, I was able to open a pdf on Google Chrome without having to save it. Now for some reason, my settings have changed and it asks me to save the document first before opening it.
I am forever saving pdfs to my desktop to view a pdf then deleting the pdf afterwards.
How do i just open the pdf without saving it.
Please note, I have tried doing the same thing on Internet Explorer and it does not ask me to save, it automatically opens. So, how can i do this on chrome?
Also, I have tried going into the settings and turning off Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome and it does not work still.
Please help.
Chrome does not use Reader to view pdf files. It uses its own viewer so hopefully they can help in the Chrome forum.

Hi All,
I also had the same issue, its all about setting in chrome, I am using Windows 10.
go to 3 dots at upper right corner of your screen under Chrome,
click Privacy& Security
click Site Setting
click Additional Content setting
click pdf Document
select the Default behaviour as DOWNLOAD PDF
this will sort out your problem 🙂 hope this will help
