I just checked IE11 and since I installed Adobe Reader DC, it will also open in the browser. &nbsp;I don't know about other versions of IE and Adobe.

I'm trying to create a page where I basically have list of links to PDF files and an iframe. When a user clicks on a link I want that PDF to be displayed in the iframe. I'm using angularjs for the page and when a user clicks on a link I simply reset the src attribute of the iframe to point to the selected PDF. This seems to work fine in some browsers but IE insists on asking me if I want to open or download the file. <br />
<br />
Is this something that can be overridden? Can I force all browsers to open the PDF directly in the iframe or is this a browser setting?<br />
<br />

Force a PDF to open in an iframe

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

Angular is a JavaScript open-source web application framework used to develop single-page applications. It aims to simplify both the development and the testing of such applications by providing a framework for client-side model–view–controller (MVC) and model–view–view-model (MVVM) architectures, along with components commonly used in rich Internet applications. Angular is the front-end part of the MEAN stack, together with Node.js runtime, Express.js backend framework and MongoDB database.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
