Hi Abramfas, This is going to depend on the browser. If the browser knows how to open the file, then it will do so.
If the browser does not know what to do it will give the user the option to download the file so that they can open the file in an application that does know how to open it. For example, if the browser has a plug-in installed that allows users to view PDF files, it will use the plugin to display the file. If the browser does not have a plugin installed, it will popup a dialog that lets the user save the file to their computer so they can open it with an application that knows how to view PDF files.
This way the browser will display the file using the appropriate plugin if it can, or else the user will be prompted to download the file. Oralloy Expert MB.
