      I am using opera version 66.0.3515.27 and when I am trying to open a pdf nothing is happening. If I click the save button, the pdf is being downloaded as usual.

      Refresh the "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Opera" option, restart opera, clear cache, but nothing changed. Reset to default made Opera to open pdf using the embedded pdf viewer for 2 days and then the same symptom.

        @VasilisVas Disable the ad-blocker. Also disable extensions. Check if that helps.

            just wanna second this. I installed Acrobat Reader in hope that i can use it instead the internal one (changed the option), but it also not work. It just opens a grey Tab like without Acrobat Reader.

                thank you all but when I reset the Opera it works fine for the first time and then I have the same problem. Digging a little using the Developer mode, I found that there is an error. Opera is trying to load favicon.ico icon and the server returns error 401 (Unauthorized). Can this be disabled?
                In some other cases the favicon.ico is not found and the server returns the below error.

                Resource at '/favicon.ico' not found: No resource found
                Cannot serve request to /favicon.ico on this server

                  Try on a Clean Profile.

                          I have this problem too. It doesn't open pdf anymore in Opera. I have to download and to open in Foxit Reader. When I want to print directly from Opera (attached pdf in email, open -> print) it doesn't see the document.

                            Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera but don't enable Opera Sync, don't install any extensions, don't enable VPN and don't enable adblocking.

                            Does it work there at least?

                                I have to admit that by removing the googletm-translator, the problem was removed! I am testing it all day today and it works fine

                                  Try IMTranslator.
