Cannot download pdfs

  • I can upload pdfs to my self hosted site, but I cannot then open or download a pdf using the link. I can download Word Docs and Powerpoint and regular images, just not pdfs.

    Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    Good point.

    Seems to be working. Maybe it’s the machine you’re using rather than the website.

    You know what, it must be a Google Chrome issue. I can view pdfs fine in Firefox and IE. I have tried both the Chrome pdf viewer and the regular Adobe Reader plugin. Any reason you can think of as to why a pdf won’t open or download in Chrome? I can open other pdfs in the internet with no problem. I just have problems with pdfs I am hosting in WordPress.

    Do you need to install the Acrobat Reader plugin for Chrome?

    I already have it installed. I just edited my previous post with more detail. but here it is in this post.

    There shouldn’t be any difference. FWIW, I can download/view pdfs from WP sites using Chrome

    I can view pdfs on other WP sites as well. I’m just trying to figure out why I can’t view my own pdfs in Chrome.
