if you are using safari just right click the doc and then you should have an option to open with preview.

Mikel, please show a complete screen shot of your browser window, if you can. If you can't, what exact browser do you run, in what system?

That's right, it does look like the FireFox PDF viewer. Not sure why you say you are using Chrome, FyTg. If it is FireFox, then just use the Download button in the PDF viewer toolbar.

Looks as if it may be just off the edge, use >>

Thanks for the help, i could solve the problem doing a different thing. By clicking show thumbnails, then print, then save as PDF i can now download it.

[removed man, I can't tell if you are trolling 😄 How many times does this poor soul have to tell you that this is in fact Chrome and that there is no download button. 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. If I click on "Document properties" it does show me that this is in fact a PDF file.

Best way I have figured out is to hit CTRL-P and print it to PDF, although this seems to massively decrease the quality even when using the highest possible DPI setting and is no substitute to an actual PDF download. Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Well, if it's Chrome, it certainly isn't the Chrome PDF viewer. 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. Careful comparison seems to show this may be the same viewer used in an earlier photo of a fragment of the screen, to which I replied "That doesn’t look like the Chrome PDF viewer. So, That is not a PDF. What makes you say that it is?" Thank you for confirming it isn't.

There's no such thing as a PDF file that can be viewed but can't be downloaded. If you can see it, you've already downloaded it to your computer, if only as a temporary file. So you need to either find a way to save it (by right-clicking the link to it, as mentioned above, for example), or to find the path of the temporary file where it was saved to, and copy it from there.

You should also be able to save it directly from within the application/plugin you're using to view it.

Right click on the link. Otherwise, what browser do you have? Do you see the PDF in the browser or in another app?

i use google chrome as a browser and i do see the PDF in the browser, but the PDF itself does not has an option to download it. My concern is how i do to revert this and be able to download it even if there is no such option.
