PDF from dispatchers should open in browser without direct download

[#1]

Hi Team,

The requirement is we suppose not to download the PDF from dispatchers, it should open in the browser.

What are the configurations for this in dispatchers? Please advise.

Thanks

Uma

Dear Uma,

If you could try to add following command to your .conf file, it would resolve issue:

<LocationMatch "\.(?i:pdf)$">
  ForceType application/pdf
  Header set Content-Disposition inline


</LocationMatch>

Regards,

Peter

You might as well add these as well while you are there. I put all mine in a new /conf.d/rewrites/mod_locationmatch.rules file --

<LocationMatch "\.(?i:xml)$">
        ForceType text/xml
        Header set Content-Disposition inline
    </LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$">
    ForceType image
    Header set Content-Disposition inline
</LocationMatch>
