PDFs Do Not Open In Browser 
We can not make PDFs open in-browser no matter how hard we try. When our users go to any other web page that has links to PDFs, the PDFs will open in-browser. When they click on a link for a PDF in a DotNetNuke page, they get an Open/Save prompt instead of the PDF just opening. This leads me to believe that DotNetNuke pages are different from any other web page when it comes to opening PDFs. Is there a setting that needs to be changed if we want PDFs to open in the user’s browser?

Re: PDFs Do Not Open In Browser 

Are you using the links module? If so are you linking to the pdf as a file on the site (http reference) or via the file browser in DNN?

Re: PDFs Do Not Open In Browser 

I am using the Links Module.  Under Edit/Add Links, I select a file location and then select the file or upload the file.  Should I be doing it a different way?

Re: PDFs Do Not Open In Browser 

Try placing the file in a non-DNN folder off the root of your site. Then reference the file via an http link. I am curious to see the difference.

Now I know this does not matter much, but I have adobe reader installed and when I open a pdf link in either FireFox or IE, it always asks me to open or save it. It never opens in the browser for me and this is for any site I go to, not just DNN sites.

For reference, can you copy the link of one that does not work as you would expect and one that does work as you expect? I want to see if there is much of a difference there

Re: PDFs Do Not Open In Browser 
Your last question about how I was doing it got me thinking and I actually came to the same solution you suggested and it works. I have the links pointing to the URLs of the PDFs stored somewhere else on our web server. But anyways, I got it to work, thank you.
