- garblegarble 8y agoIf you click on a link to a .pdf in Safari on iOS (certainly on iOS 11, but I'm pretty sure many versions prior to that) it will transparently show the PDF within the browser (it's a fast native PDF viewer that can be zoomed/scrolled very easily).
- macintux 8y agoOnly if you're using some 3rd-party app that doesn't support PDF rendering. Apple's Safari and Files both handle them in-app.
