No PDF Download: View PDF Files Directly in the Browser
No PDF Download is a free Chrome add-on developed by Merten Peetz. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This add-on allows users to open all PDF files directly in the browser, eliminating the need for them to be saved or downloaded.
While most PDF files can already be viewed directly in the browser, some may trigger a "Save as" dialog or automatically download. No PDF Download addresses this issue by enabling users to view all PDF files within the browser itself. Even with this add-on, users can still save the PDF files by pressing CTRL+S (or CMD+S) after viewing them.
It is worth noting that some web servers may be misconfigured and fail to inform the browser that a file is a PDF. In such cases, the file will still be downloaded even when No PDF Download is active. If users encounter a PDF file that is downloaded despite using this add-on, they can send the URL to the support email address provided by the developer for further investigation.
