Observed behaviour: When I select view on any PDF the wristwatch icon shows for a few seconds and then nothing happens.

Expected behaviour: When I select view on any PDF the file opens in the browser.

I've attempted to use both the browser viewer and an external PDF viewer but in either case the same errant behaviour is seen.

Nearly half of my ebooks are in PDF format and I WANT to open PDF files within the browser ( I already know they cannot be opened in the Calibre viewer). For some reason Calibre web seems to not pass the required data to the browser to actually open the selected PDF file. With those same browsers I can open a PDF from any other website such as this one.

I expect to have a number of users using the Calibre library and want to ensure that they can all read the books without undue problems.

I would really appreciate a solution to this issue.
Is that 'Calibre web' this calibre-web ==>> https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web ?
