You shouldn't need to, that should be the normal way it works. But if you changed it and forgot how to change it back ... Settings > Websites, the very last checkbox at the bottom (make sure it is not checked).

@dabayer If you open a PDF from your computer in Opera, does it open in the built-in reader?

I have the same problem. There is no difference whether the box is checked. It only allows me to save the PDF to disk. The file can be opened with a double click then. This has been like this for several years now.

This Profile folder has the default settings for PDF, you can try it to see what happens.

Just rename your profile folder before and past the downloaded one.

More info on the "Opera Reset / Back up" signature's links.
