Make pdf documents viewable but not downloadable from browser






















For this test, you need a PDF saved on your computer. If the PDF opens, the website you were viewing could have a problem. Contact the individual or company who manages the website.

Certain conditions on your computer, such as security settings or browser cookies, can prevent you from viewing a PDF.

Often, the fastest solution is to try to open the page using a different browser. Try any of the following browsers that you have not already tried:.

For a list of compatible browsers for Reader and Acrobat, see Compatible web browsers. Some websites display better in the Compatibility View of Internet Explorer. The Compatibility View displays a page as if it were in an earlier version of the browser. For instructions on how to switch to this view, see Fix site display problems with Compatibility View.

Restart your computer, then open the web page again. Restarting clears the computer memory and memory cache. Simply restarting your computer frequently resolves display issues.

Clear the browser cache sometimes called temporary Internet files to ensure that you're viewing a fresh version of the page. Be careful when selecting the options. Clear only the browser cache. If you clear all temporary Internet files, you could delete the cookies that contain login information and preferences.

Most browsers let you choose the type of content you want to delete. Firefox: Delete browsing, search, and download history.

Chrome: Delete your cache, history, and other browser data. Internet Explorer 8 through 11 : Viewing and deleting your browser history. Internet Explorer 7 : Delete webpage history. Acrobat and Reader are bit applications on Windows. In some versions of Internet Explorer, select the question mark in the upper-right corner to select About Internet Explorer.

To switch to the bit Internet Explorer, first exit bit Internet Explorer. Then double-click the program icon for the bit version:. Reader or Acrobat could be damaged. Repairing the installation is a quick troubleshooting safeguard. If none of the solutions in the previous sections solve the issue with viewing PDFs, you can try the following advanced steps. For example, on some systems, the add-on appears when you select Run Without Permission.

If the button says Disable, then the add-on is already enabled. This button toggles between Enable and Disable, depending on the status of the selected add-on. Make sure that File reads "nppdf Create a user account that has the same permissions as the account you use when the problem occurs. Or create a local administrator account. If the problem doesn't recur when you log on to the new account, then the original user account could be damaged.

Otherwise, what browser do you have? Do you see the PDF in the browser or in another app? My concern is how i do to revert this and be able to download it even if there is no such option. There's no such thing as a PDF file that can be viewed but can't be downloaded. If you can see it, you've already downloaded it to your computer, if only as a temporary file. So you need to either find a way to save it by right-clicking the link to it, as mentioned above, for example , or to find the path of the temporary file where it was saved to, and copy it from there.

I just attached an image of what i can see from my browser, as you can see, there is no option where i can download this PDF and when i right click on it, there is no such option that allow me to download it. Can you tell me how to solve this please. So, That is not a PDF. What makes you say that it is? In fact, that is a chrome browser. When i said " i do see the PDF in the browser ", i didnt mean i use chrome PDF viewer nor any type of app to see it, instead it literally means that the PDF is showed in my browser which in fact is chrome, dunno if this is understandable.

It's a little hard for me to explain it if you didnt understand. Go to the Page Source and search for ". Copy the link to the browser's URL field, or use a downloader to get the file. Hey man did you solved this problem. Can you share the solution. I'm facing the same problem,i eant to download the pdf but i cant. Please can you help. The document can only be scrolled up and down but not able to download the doc I think downloading is locked. If this is really a PDF file, then viewing it requires downloading it.

It's probably saved on your computer as a temporary file. You can also edit the file the browsers handles PDF files and tell it to save it, instead of opening it inline. However, I suspect this is not really a PDF, but some kind of presentation of it in another format. Not sure why you say you are using Chrome, FyTg. Thanks for the help, i could solve the problem doing a different thing. By clicking show thumbnails, then print, then save as PDF i can now download it. You don't need to do all that.

If you're using FireFox, just use the download button, that's what it's for! Apparently there are ways to lock down the download feature.

I've attached the example I am currently struggling with for your information. I am sorry the right click menu is in German, but trust me when I say that there is no download option there either. Thanks Aziz — woninana. In , a Flash-based anything is never the best. FrankSeifert: That answer was in Flash was a thing back then : I'll update it — Aziz.

Oleksi Oleksi He means he wants it to display in the browser, and not downloaded and viewed by Adobe Reader. Judging by the other answers and votes, you're right. But then his question should read something like "how to have a PDF open in a browser window, not in another app". It is not that obvious what he means. You're right, it's not obvious. I've edited the question to elaborate.
