Can you force a pdf to download

These are instructions to force the platform to open PDFs in a browser window rather than downloading to your desktop. 

By default, when a user clicks on media or files uploaded through the 'Page Image or Uploads' tab, that PDF automatically downloads to the users desktop. This tutorial shows you how to build a link to a PDF that will open in a browser tab. 

1. In the WYSIWYG, click on the media browser photo icon in the menubar. 
2. Click on Library to select a PDF that has already been uploaded (alternatively, you can upload something from your desktop). 
3. Click the Edit File button under the filename in the new window.
4. Right-click the blue link to the PDF in the new window and copy the link address.
5. Cancel out of this and X out of the previous window. 

Using the link in your content:

1. Type an action statement to access the PDF (ie "Read the full report" / "Access the full statement here"). 
2. Hightlight the text.
3. Click on the simple chain link in the WYSIWYG menubar (avoid the chain link with the '+' icon for this exercise). 
4. Paste the link in the URL field. 
5. Complete the rest of your page and save. 

When clicked, the link to the PDF will open in a new browser window.
