Once files are uploaded to a Jamroom site I see that they can only be downloaded, rather than read on the site. Would it be possible for the PDF to be opened and read on the site?

Thank you.

That's a browser extension. I have a PDF reader built into my browser so when I open PDF files they open in the browser.

If one is not built in you can usually add it as an extension.

which browser do you use?

I use Safari, but I was thinking for all users.

You: Here's a PDF file but you must read by the method I prefer.
visitor: Why?

It is possible to force PDF files into a reader that you provide but its not standard.

Attached a PDF for testing.

--edit--
When I choose to open that file I get 3 choices provided by my operating system and browsers. (screenshot)

I can only download the PDF file... same as on our site... no option to open it.
Usually a PDF document opens in the brower (new window).

Can you show me a link to a PDF file that opens in your browser in a new window please. I'll take a look to see how its different.
