How to disable auto-opening PDF downloads?
-
Every time I download a PDF using Vivaldi, it automatically opens in Acrobat. Other browsers have an option to disable this, but I can't find one in Vivaldi. Is there a hidden setting somewhere, or is it not possible to change this functionality?

@maimsjeweler Vivaldi does not open a pdf automatically.
To open a PDF it needs user interaction in Download Save dialog by button Open. -

Check if you have in the extensions page a plugin by adobe, it probably is the culprit.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks.
iAN, I didn't see the setting referenced in the article you linked, but that did lead me down the road to a solution. After some troubleshooting, I was able to solve the problem by going into Acrobat and checking "disable New Acrobat."

@maimsjeweler Go to Settings, Webpages, Plugins:
Enable Internal PDF Pluginif you would like to open PDF files in a new Vivaldi Tab, without saving the PDF in your default Downloads folder. (It will be saved in a temporary folder.
