In all browsers that I use that is only true if the server sends a Content-Disposition header with its value set to “attachment” (optionally with a file name), or maybe also in the case where the server specifies incorrect or unspecific Content-Type (such as simply “application/octet-stream” instead of “application/pdf”).
- kzrdude 5y agoWhat I said happens for Firefox on android, unfortunately. It's a great browser, of course.
- sharken 5y agoOn the Brave browser for Android it also downloads the PDF file and stores it locally. Websites should use HTML and not PDF in my opinion. On top of that the end result is not very readable on mobile, the font is too small.

Was only commenting about browsers saving PDFs. PDF is not a comfortable format for reading on a screen. Nor a comfortable format to extract text or data from.

- codetrotter 5y agoYes. I use Safari on iOS.
