Chrome PDF reader cannot open PDF – "Failed to load PDF document"

    I have run in to an issue with a walled garden multi-site WordPress. To be clear, you have to be logged in to access files. When chrome tries to open the PDF file it tries to open it in the browser window and I then get “Failed to load PDF document”. (the address bar has the url to the document with /pdf/ at the end )
    If I right click and download the file there is no issue and I can open it locally.

    Where are the pdf-files served from, and is there any way to allow access to the file without having to be logged in?

    Or has anyone else experienced problems with in-browser PDF-readers?

    Best regards

    Additional info. It seem to be a problem with activating the plugin in the network of my multi-site WordPress installation.

    When I activate the plugin on individual site basis, then PDFs show correctly in the in-browser PDF-readers.

    How very peculiar. Might want to take a look at this for the next version.
