Unfortunately this is down to the individual's browsers. If they have a plug in for pdf then the files will be opened within the browser.<br />
<br />
There is a setting in the advanced settings for the doc library to 'Open in client app' but I don;t know that this works for PDF and will only open it in adobe anyway.<br />
<br />
Even if your did force the normal download function of the browser they would have the option to open anyway and may not be aware of where they downloaded them to.

Thanks for you help.<br />

I am ok with them opening it if they want to. But I would frist like them to have the option to save the file.<br />
<br />
The most of the PDFs are over 10megs and when you click on them and it starts to open it looks like nothing is happening. &nbsp;
