I must be missing something. Is it necessary to always download a pdf when viewing a pdf on the browser? It is cluttering up my storage.

There's no pdf browser extension for the blackberry browser like you have on your PC, so the file must be downloaded and then launches adobe to be viewed.. that's just the way it is for now. No reason you can't delete the file right after though.

Yes. Always has been like that. In case you do not realise it, your PC will also download the pdf - only to a temporary folder that you do not see.

I was gonna say the same thing, I have so much garbage on my work computer from opening PDFs in the browser. Thankfully everything else is on network drives, so no way I am filling up my HD.

I use PDFs on a daily basis. I have a Web system on my Z10 to navigate them. Lemme show you what I get:



Clicking the top link for service manual (PDF)



Message box, asks if I want to open PDF in Adobe Reader



PDF open in Browser (button at bottom asking if I want to open it in the Adobe Reader app)



File opens in full Adobe Reader

Thanks for the replies. It explains why.

Seems to me though, that a better user experience would be to simply open the pdf for viewing (one touch) and save it to a temporary file that is hidden and cleared on a schedule. If I want to save it then have that as an action.

The current processes of saving then reopening the pdf , then clearing the list and deleting the files is clumsy.
