View but not download pdf

Unless you host your own PDF viewer on your website such that the PDF file itself is not internally downloaded by whatever PDF reader the user has on their computer (i.e., your website displays a raster bitmap of the PDF content), there is absolutely no way to prevent the file from being downloaded and shared using Abode (sic) software.  · To set Chrome to download pdf files rather than opening them in the Chrome viewer, open Settings, click on Privacy and security, then Site Settings. Find Permissions and click on Additional permissions at the bottom of that section.  · Scroll down the Site Settings screen to find and click the PDF documents option. Next to Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome, click the toggle switch to set to the On or Off position. Chrome downloads a PDF when the toggle switch is set to On and displays a PDF in the browser when set to Off. Close the Settings tab.

I highly encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple using the following link. Product Feedback - Apple. PDF Documents Won't Download.

However, Download or View in Preview icons (located bottom center of the page) nothing happens. The file does not download, nor will it open in preview. But that doesn't stop Edge from opening PDFs if you click a link online. The file needs to be downloaded first. If you want a different option, another thing you can do is make Edge download PDF.

Scroll down the Site Settings screen to find and click the PDF documents option. Next to Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome, click the toggle switch to set to the On or Off position. Chrome downloads a PDF when the toggle switch is set to On and displays a PDF in the browser when set to Off. Close the Settings tab. Certain conditions on your computer, such as security settings or browser cookies, can prevent you from viewing a PDF. Often, the fastest solution is to try to open the page using a different browser. Try any of the following browsers that you have not already tried: Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Internet Explorer Apple Safari. What you need is a server side solution, because there is nothing you can do with a PDF so that is not downloadable. The server needs to convert each page into an Image, and server that up to the user.
