To change how Google Chrome treats PDF files in the browser, follow the steps below. If you do not see the save icon, move your mouse towards the bottom of the browser window, and a black bar should appear, where the save icon is located.īy default, Google Chrome opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder.
Follow these steps to view or download a PDF with Internet Explorer. However, downloading a PDF is still possible. Similar to Microsoft Edge Legacy, Internet Explorer displays PDF files by default, instead of offering to download them for you.
However, Edge Legacy does give you the option to save a PDF after it opens in the browser.
Microsoft Edge Legacy does not download PDF files by default and this setting cannot be changed.
