Quick answer
Review Chrome PDF handling preferences if every PDF downloads rather than opening in the browser. A website can also influence how its files are delivered.
Understand the issue
Test a non-sensitive PDF from a trusted source and compare it with the affected site. Note whether this is a consistent browser preference or a behaviour limited to one download. Avoid reinstalling a PDF reader before checking that distinction.
Step-by-step checks
- Inspect Chrome PDF document settings.
- Choose the behaviour appropriate to your workflow.
- Test another trusted PDF and compare the result.

What the results mean
A downloaded PDF still needs an appropriate reader. Browser handling and the Windows default PDF app are separate choices.
| Stage | Action |
|---|---|
| Start | Inspect Chrome PDF document settings. |
| Compare | Choose the behaviour appropriate to your workflow. |
| Next step | Test another trusted PDF and compare the result. |

Conclusion
A downloaded PDF still needs an appropriate reader. Browser handling and the Windows default PDF app are separate choices. Keep a note of the result so a technician can continue from the evidence rather than repeat the same checks.
