Force PDFs to display inline instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu>
Force PDFs to render inline instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu> 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. ======== CODE ======== Please contribute! https://github.com/semenko/chrome-force-pdf-inline Copyright 2014-2015, Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu> Released under the MIT License.

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.
