View PDF directly in browser

pacikk · 08-15-2011, 10:46 AM

Hello,
is there a way to change the behavior of the GET button when viewing the books list in a browser (Sharing over the Net option) such that the PDF opens directly in the browser instead of being saved to disk? I'm using Chrome/Firefox on Windows 7.

I checked that the PDF browser plugin is working because other PDF links do open directly in the browser.

Regards,
Patrick

Not without editing the source code.

If it's of any help, you can use a PDF manager in FireFox, like PDF Download to directly open the file in your external PDF viewer. You can also tell FireFox to do that with the downloaded file directly. I prefer that method of viewing anyway, as the external viewer has more functionality.
