Description

Force PDFs to display inline instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich <[email protected]>

Force PDFs to render inline instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich

Annoyed by PDFs that save and download instead of opening?

This extension forces PDFs to render inline instead of downloading (by overwriting the "Content-disposition: attachment" header).

This extension works using the webRequest API -- and it's a bit slower than the alternative extension. If you're using the Beta or Dev versions of Chrome, my alternative extension uses the Declarative Web Request API -- which is faster.

Features:
- Only rewrites content that's in a main window (main_frame)
- Rewrites all responses with "Content-type: application/pdf"
- Rewrites responses with "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename=*.pdf

WARNING: This may have security risks by overriding the attachment header. Use at your own risk.

Good feature idea! Sadly a of 2024-03-21 the extension in it lates released version 2016.4.7 is not working anymore in the current Chrome 122.0.6261.129. Tried it on https://www.bmf.gv.at/services/publikationen/das-steuerbuch.html where the PDFs use "Content-Disposition: attachment" and enforcing PDF inline display fails, instead the PDFs just trigger a download.
