How to set PDF link as new tab and not download?

Hi Grace,

Did you upload the PDF into your Rise course using an Attachment block, or are you using a link to open a PDF that resides on an external web site?

Hi Karl,  Thank you for your quick reply. I uploaded as an attachment block first. 

I'm having the same issue! 

I have an online PDF Library that I've created in Rise, and I use the unique links that each uploaded PDF is assigned to hyperlink and embed these files into other courses.  As of today, anytime I add a new doc to my PDF Library, it no longer opens in a new window with a unique link, it just automatically downloads, and this is no bueno for me.

Did the settings in Rise recently change to have PDFs automatically download, as opposed to opening automatically in a new tab with a unique link?  If so, I need a way to turn it back into a link that opens in a new tab - otherwise I'll have issues with every course that I've hyperlinked these docs to.  Thank you.

@Karl Muller - I have my Chrome settings already set to open up PDFs in Chrome, and this is not the issue.  All of my older uploaded PDFs in Multimedia Attachment blocks are still working fine and opening as unique links in new tabs....However, any new docs I've uploaded from the last few days are no longer able to open in a new tab with unique links.

Yes, please let me know if there is a solution. I have not heard back.  Thank you!

Will do. Thank you!
