How to Automatically Open PDFs After Download?

Published in Web Browsing 1 min read

To automatically open PDFs after download in Chrome, you need to adjust your browser settings.

Here's how to configure Chrome to automatically open PDFs:

  1. Access Chrome's Settings: In Chrome, click the three vertical dots (the "More" menu) in the top-right corner of the browser window. Then, select "Settings."

  2. Navigate to Privacy and Security: In the Settings menu, click on "Privacy and security."

  3. Access Site Settings: Under "Privacy and security," select "Site settings."

  4. Find PDF Documents Settings: Scroll down the list and click on "PDF documents."

  5. Enable Automatic PDF Opening: You will see an option that says "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome." Toggle the switch to the off position. This means when the setting is disabled (slider is off), Chrome will automatically open PDFs after they are downloaded.

By disabling the "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome" option, you are instructing Chrome to open PDF files directly after they are downloaded, without prompting you to save them first.
