I use a standalone laptop (not networked, no server), using the current/most recent version of Chrome. My content>PDF setting is to "download PDFs" (i.e. NOT open in chrome), yet some PDFs open in Chrome, while others download. Given I've set PDFs to download, what specifically do I have to do to insure that ALL PDFs download?

          Short answer: You can't (at least not that I know of with today's version)



          Long answer: When the server sends you the file, he may or may not specify a Content-Disposition header. There are three outcomes:




          • The server sends none: Chrome will do as told

          • The server sends Content-Disposition: attachment(with or without a filename decorator): Chrome will save the file

          • The server sends Content-Disposition: inline: Chrome will open the file


          This behaviour does make sense in many circumstances, especially with other file types that chrome can either parse or save, but it can be a nuissance with PDFs.
