      Some time ago I installed the PDF Viewer extention but some days ago it stopped to work and I can only save the .pdf files and open it later (I use acrobat XI Pro ), at the moment is impossible to open a .pdf file cliking on it being on Opera 34.0

      Any council to solve this problem ?

      Thanks

        If that extension is broken, remove it. Check and make sure the default PDF plugin is enabled (Chrome PDF) and it should open the PDF in the browser. Opera by default wont open things you download in programs outside of itself because of viruses and malware.

          OK I'll try to do that, Thanks

          Opera by default wont open things you download in programs outside of itself because of viruses and malware.

          But an extension (or plugin as you call it) isn't a program added from outside Opera ?

            I've deleted the plugin that I had on my Opera but no differences, the .pdf files can be downloaded but not open in Opera

            I tried to find a new pdf viewer plugin but was not able to find one, please someone can give me a direct link ?

            Thanks

              Opera has a pdf viewer (plugin). It's not working?

                  Do you have turbo enabled by chance?

                      Menu > (Opera) Turbo. Check if it shows a check mark. If yes, it's enabled.

                          If you mean the original extension to open .pdf ..... Errr.... I don't remember, how can I verify ?

                          At the moment I disinstalled the extention that I was using (that isn't the default extension)

                          Thanks

                                Have you checked with those extensions disabled?

                                Also, is the builtin pdf plugin enabled?

                                Does the issue happens on any page?

                                  Go to plugins
                                  type on address bar:opera://plugins/
                                  Disable:Chrome PDF Viewer
                                  or Foxit Reader Plug-In & Adobe Acrobot Reader Plugin.
                                  Goodluck.

                                    I found Chrome PDF Viewer and Acrobat Reader (on my PC I use Acrobat XI Pro not the reader)

                                    this is the situation

                                    http://i.imgur.com/fpSMKHM.jpg

                                    http://i.imgur.com/TMSy2MJ.jpg

                                    I disabled it or eneble it but I can only download the .pdf files and open it in a second moment (using Acrobat XI Pro)

                                    no way to open directly the .pdf files on clicking on it

                                    Same thing if I install the Documents extension

                                    https://addons.opera.com/it/extensions/details/documents/?display=en#

                                    Thanks

                                        Maybe the site is not sending the correct mime type? Anyway, i already saw some sites where you can't open a pdf directly into the plugin, you need to downlaod the pdf file.

                                          After fighting this problem for weeks I finally found a SIMPLE answer and the cause of my problem. Problem: Can not view a pdf file in Opera from mail or a website. Solution: "UNCHECK" 'Opera Turbo' in the Opera drop down menu. Amazingly simple and could NOT find that answer anywhere. Just got lucky.
