No PDF Download - Automatic In-Browser PDF Viewing Chrome Extension

"No PDF Download" is a user-friendly Chrome extension built to make the viewing of PDF files smoother and quicker by opening them directly in your browser. This tool prevents the interruption of automatic downloads or unnecessary 'Save as' prompts that can occur with some PDF files. It's important to note that while most PDF files can be viewed directly in the browser with this extension, in some rare instances a file may still be downloaded due to server misconfigurations. Nevertheless, users retain the option to manually save PDFs after viewing with simple keyboard commands.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

While most PDF files can be viewed directly in the browser some PDFs will trigger a "Save as"-dialog or will be downloaded automatically. This addon views all PDF files directly in the browser. You can still save the PDF by pressing CTRL+S (or CMD+S) after viewing them.

Some web servers are misconfigured and don't tell the browser that a file is a PDF. In this case the file will still be downloaded even when this addon is active. If you encounter a PDF that is downloaded feel free to send the URL to the support email address so I can check if this it's a bug in the addon or just a server issue.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.
