SharePoint 2010 Opening a .pdf File
If you have your nice SP2010 setup you may notice that when you go to
open a PDF file it prompts you to save it rather than opening.
This is really annoying and would send everyone here at the school completely
bananas! Not to mention the fact that we try to get everything on SharePoint
only to force people to save it to their own area!
Never fear there is a solution. It’s in central admin.
Go there and click ‘Manage Web Applications’
Click on the web app you want to change, and go to ‘General Settings’
Scroll down the list until you reach ‘Browser File Handling’
Change the radio box from Strict to Permissive.
Click ok.
Go back to your PDF document and click on it – and it will open up without forcing you to save it somewhere first.
