@trustissues The default option is to view the PDF inside Opera, however if the pages says to download the file, Opera will do ir.

Does https://www.orimi.com/pdf-test.pdf display/open in Opera for you?

@leocg That may be the default setting, but unfortunately it isn't for me. And I don't see a way to change that. Not meaning to sound snarky, do you know where this elusive setting is?

@bahula I didn't think of that. I'd prefer to work within the browser settings, but if that fails, I'll definitely go this route. Thanks for the suggestion.

@burnout426 I'm not sure. I don't like clicking on random PDFs. Especially if I don't know their source. Malware can easily be downloaded through PDF. No offense, but I'll pass on clicking the PDF.

@burnout426 I can vouch for that PDF and have personally checked its source. You can also see the results of a scan for it at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/65236811238bc81f58561dc24673ce12f82dddf3392130e9725601c211ae2430/details.

Or, you can test this PDF I just made myself. Copy the following, open up a new tab, right-click in the address field and choose "paste and go". It's just a pdf that says "test".

@burnout426 Thanks for taking the time to try to help. @leocg listed the the pathway to get to the setting. Not sure how/why mine was downloading, but it's corrected. It was buried in there, I appreciate everyone's help!
