After many months I'm trying to solve this problem before giving up and change browser (Edge or Firefox don't have this problem)
Is there any solution? Someone can help me?

Since Opera is based on Chromium, testing in Chrome to see if it does it too would help.

Also, disable any extensions you have in Opera. Maybe one is interfering.

Now I try to see if there is an error and if I can create a new mail so you can test it.
Thank you in advance!!

Then, save the following (select, copy and paste into a text editor) as testpdf.html (to your desktop) and load it in Opera.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Opera PDF embed Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p><embed type="application/pdf" src="test.pdf" width="400" height="400"></p>
    </body>
</html>

Does that at least work?

Also, with the webmail, after you try to load the preview for an attachment and it fails, look at the "Console" tab in the developer tools (ctrl + shift + i). Maybe it'll tell you about a Javascript error and or security error, which might tell you why the pdf isn't loading in the preview.

I see the markup is just showing the buttons to click on for each attachment. I guess I'd kind of need the markup for the preview area after you click to try and load an attachment and it fails.

That'd be to just see if it's trying to embed the pdf. I still wouldn't be able to troubleshoot the problem without a test account for your webmail or another dojo webmail.

I've notice that if I right click on the pdf icon it opens options and if I click on "open" instead of "preview" it will open a new tab and the the viewer works ok.
So the problem is the preview

Okay. that helps a little. But, if you could click the > for the selected div to expand it and do so to all its descendants, that'd help.

When I try to open it inside the webmail page appears an inside tab who asks me to install a pdf viewer with a link to Adobe Reader.

Which webmail?

I'm wondering if the page is trying to embed a pdf instead of just providing a link to it. In HTML terms, that means something like this:

<embed type="application/pdf" src="link_to_pdf" >

If that's the case (I guess you could right-click that area of the page and choose "inspect" to find out), it might be an issue with the built-in pdf viewer not handing embeds and only direct links. It's hard to say without seeing the page.

If it's some ISP webmail or something, maybe you can create another email account that's just for testing so we can log into that one.

yea use the stand-alone free adobe acrobat reader app. i personally would never open a pdf in any browser cause typically the info in it is something i don't want to share so why would i open it in a browser.

After such many years using Opera this is a really sad way to end it 😞

If it doesn't happen just on some pages then it's probably a page issue.
