Hi-
I’d like to load a PDF file into a page, in my controller:
send_file “/path to/my.pdf”, :disposition => “inline”
However, instead of rendering inline, it asks to download the file.
How can I display the contents without downloading?
Thanks!

As far as I know, this is a browser preference. In Safari, they will
show in the browser, unless the user has disabled it using:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
On Windows, it largely depends on whether the Adobe Acrobat Reader is
installed and configured to load it into the browser.

Hmm, I’ll look at that.
Do I need to do anything in the view?
I don’t see any preferences in Mozilla in terms of how to render a PDF
file. Could it be related to anything else?
