Opening files in browser instead of downloading

Question

I have a href link to a pdf file that when clicked on it downloads. I want this to just open in a new page instead of downloading.

Answer 1

add target="_blank" to get a new window. adding .pdf may help. If you have control over the host web server adjusting the headers for the files in question will also help it open inline. I can tell you what headers to set if you are able too
