But most browsers now download or display the PDF automatically when a PDF link is clicked. Firefox opens the PDF in a new window, and I think Safari downloads it. Not sure about Windows.

Windows, too, if the Acrobat Plug-in is installed on the target machine.
Only Android cannot display in a browser so far, too bad.

Fingers crossed, will try and tell. :-)
Thank you!
