Do you see the PDF in the browser or in another app? My concern is how i do to revert this and be able to download it even if there is no such option. There's no such thing as a PDF file that can be viewed but can't be downloaded. If you can see it, you've already downloaded it to your computer, if only as a temporary file.
So you need to either find a way to save it by right-clicking the link to it, as mentioned above, for example , or to find the path of the temporary file where it was saved to, and copy it from there. I just attached an image of what i can see from my browser, as you can see, there is no option where i can download this PDF and when i right click on it, there is no such option that allow me to download it. Can you tell me how to solve this please. So, That is not a PDF. What makes you say that it is?
In fact, that is a chrome browser. When i said " i do see the PDF in the browser ", i didnt mean i use chrome PDF viewer nor any type of app to see it, instead it literally means that the PDF is showed in my browser which in fact is chrome, dunno if this is understandable. It's a little hard for me to explain it if you didnt understand. Go to the Page Source and search for ".
Copy the link to the browser's URL field, or use a downloader to get the file. Hey man did you solved this problem. Can you share the solution. I'm facing the same problem,i eant to download the pdf but i cant. Please can you help. The document can only be scrolled up and down but not able to download the doc I think downloading is locked.
If this is really a PDF file, then viewing it requires downloading it. It's probably saved on your computer as a temporary file. You can also edit the file the browsers handles PDF files and tell it to save it, instead of opening it inline. However, I suspect this is not really a PDF, but some kind of presentation of it in another format.
Not sure why you say you are using Chrome, FyTg. Thanks for the help, i could solve the problem doing a different thing. By clicking show thumbnails, then print, then save as PDF i can now download it. You don't need to do all that. If you're using FireFox, just use the download button, that's what it's for! Apparently there are ways to lock down the download feature.
I've attached the example I am currently struggling with for your information. I am sorry the right click menu is in German, but trust me when I say that there is no download option there either.
Let me know if you have any other ideas. That doesn't look at all like that. And Chrome doesn't allow any other PDF viewer. The file name for saving may be different than the name of the file being downloaded. Only the attachment for content disposition is different than when telling the browser to display the PDF in a window. But I'll comment on each item anyway in case you didn't give the other a close read.
That's all the browser needs to know for saving the PDF as a file. It might or might not do as you request, but it knows what you want. The previous method for causing a downloaded PDF document to be saved as a file generally works. When it doesn't, it almost certainly is because user preferences overrode your request. It is generally a good idea to let the user override. It can be assumed they have a good reason for it. They may even be annoyed if you bypass it. But if you must bypass any preferences that would override your request to save the PDF as a file, the following should do it.
What you're doing is telling the browser to download a file and refusing to let it know what type of file it is. It is virtually certain that the the browser has no choice but to ask the user to save the file, with no options to open the file or display the file in the browser window. That's all the browser needs to know for saving a file that it has no idea what type of file it is. File types can often be obtained by consulting the file name extension. But a weird extension could have been assigned, or no extension at all, or an extension that isn't consistent with the file type.
But I generally don't recommend it when you do know what file type is being downloaded. It is included in this article for completeness, not as a recommendation. You now know how to tell the browser whether a PDF file being downloaded is for display in the browser window or for saving as a file. When you study the code, you see there is very little difference between them. This article first appeared with an issue of the Possibilities newsletter.
