        @operaacct Anything you see in your browser is downloaded, even if only into your cache. The question would be whether you can view them without saving them - and that probably depends on your email.

          @operaacct open Settings > Advanced > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Additional content settings > PDF documents, you will find the option "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Opera", in your case, turn it off.

              @nneo16 There doesn't appear to be the option you suggest.
              Instead there is the option Open pdf files in the default PDF viewer.

              This option is currently checked.

              What would happen if this option is unchecked ?

                @operaacct In the content settings, there is such an option.

                opera://settings/content/pdfDocuments
