In Chrome, why do some PDFs just go into the downloads tray?

Some pdf files display immediately in Chrome (e.g. http://www.budget.gov.au/2014-15/content/bp2/download/BP2_consolidated.pdf).

Other pdf files go into the downloads tray (e.g. ofm.mq.edu.au/PDF/map_colour.pdf).

Is there a reason for this?

Yes, the web site can code the link as a download instead of a simple link that will open in Chrome.

Thanks.
You're welcome, glad to help.  Just for giggles, I used that method on one of my pages... http://www.dibsplace.com/webdev/index.html .  Look for the two different links for Web Design Outline.
