Force PDFs to render inline instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich <[email protected]>
Annoyed by PDFs that save and download instead of opening?
This extension forces PDFs to render inline instead of downloading (by overwriting the "Content-disposition: attachment" header).
This extension works using the webRequest API -- and it's a bit slower than the alternative extension. If you're using the Beta or Dev versions of Chrome, my alternative extension uses the Declarative Web Request API -- which is faster.
Features:
- Only rewrites content that's in a main window (main_frame)
- Rewrites all responses with "Content-type: application/pdf"
- Rewrites responses with "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename=*.pdf
WARNING: This may have security risks by overriding the attachment header. Use at your own risk.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
