Some people are not so lucky, they can't finish any download in Chrome. What's worse, they fail to download files without receiving a warning or error message indicating where the process went wrong. In this case, it's time to take some further measures. After reading numerous stories telling how people fix the downloading problems in Chrome, we summed up four effective solutions which I hope to be a permanent cure. These are what you can try: clear all history and cache, run the Chrome cleanup tool, and reset settings to Chrome's original defaults.
If you want to keep your Chrome history and cookies, you can backup or export Chrome history and cookies in advance. A Chrome cleanup tool can find and remove harmful software on your computer. Running this tool may solve the "Chrome won't download files" issue caused by malware. Step 4. Under "Reset and clean up", click "Restore settings to their original defaults" and then click "Reset Settings" to confirm. Attention, resetting Chrome will reset the browser startup page, new tab page, pinned tabs, and more.
It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. However, other files like your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords will not be saved still.

This means Chrome users can directly open PDF files inside the browser rather than having to download it first. What if you do want to download PDF files on Chrome though? If you dry to click on the link to a PDF file on Chrome, instead of downloading it, Chrome simply opens it.
At no point does it ask whether you want to download it instead. I simply copy and paste the link in Firefox and download the file. However, downloading a PDF is still possible.
By default, Google Chrome opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder. To have PDF files open in the browser again, repeat these steps and select the Preview in Firefox option or Use other option to choose another program. By default, Opera opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder.
