Is there a way on the 2014, or any android device for that matter, to open a pdf from a webpage when clicking on it instead of downloading? I have downloading then opening then having to delete if I do not want the file.

Does anyone know why some cab files open as atext webpage in PIE?
i'm trying to install supertasks 2.0 to my phone (no desktop pc nearby)
http://www.softwareandson.com/SuperTasks/download.php
It's a problem with the web page design. The cab file is not declared as the correct type on the web page. Unlikely that you can do anything to retrieve it on your PocketPC.
It downloads fine for me...strange.
Here's a trick: Right click on the item, and select "save link as..."
This should work.
HappyGoat - downloads fine for me too, on a *pc*
I think dah54 is right, can't do anything about it. Maybe Netfront will be able to d/l it.
I think its so stupid that a PDA is tied to a PC. It should be autonomous.
Apologies if there is already a thread with a solution to this but I have tried searching without success...
How can I open an email attachment that ends with the .msg file extension that has been sent to my TP2?
When I attempt to open it I get the following message:
'Unrecognized file type. Tap and hold the attachment to save it and open it using a compatible program'.
Is there a compatible program for the PPC?
Im running stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM.
Many thanks,

On the Note 10.1 2014's pull down status menu, when I click a recently downloaded .doc file, it gives me an error message that the document 'is not a supported document type'. It does open POLARIS Office 5, at which point I can open the doc through the file browser. I was thinking that POLARIS wasn't the default word processing program, but when it attempts to open the file, it does run the program. I'm new with Android, so am I missing something here? How can I make the file open when I click on it from the recently downloaded file list on the pull down status menu?

Go ahead and download "Kingsoft Office 5.8" from the Play Store. Just search for it with the word "office", it should be the first result. I don't have much experience with Polaris, but usually those Samsung apps aren't the most full featured ones you can get. That's why we usually refer to them as bloatware. Kingsoft is probably the most full featured and widely used office suite for Android and if that doesn't open it as well then you might have have a problem with the file. Plus It's free.
If you have trouble locating the file, use the "file explorer" app to locate it. It's most likely in your "Download" folder.
Hi,
Thanks for your time, I need some help!
On my Tab S, downloads from some sites run fine, while from others the orange webpage progress stripe travels across the top of the screen, but nothing happens. No files appear in downloads foler or notifications. If you long-press & select open in new window, the new window is just blank.
It is this device, not the files, as the same files open fine on other devices.
It's not the browser - same problem if tried in Chrome, Explorer or Firefox.
It's not the .pdf viewer, of which I have several working fine.
McAfee security software maybe causing problem??
This problem only started about the end of May ... so maybe an update caused the problem?
80% of download files work fine. 20% do nothing.
The biggest problem I'm having is with my cloud accounting software “Xero” - on this device, .aba banking files, .jpeg & .pdf ...any file actually .. from Xero.. will now not work on this device. Files from Xero used to work on this device, & they still work on my phone.
Here's another example. This .pdf from Suncorp DOES open on this Tab S device no problem, both in cloud viewer & downloaded to device:
(not allowed to post the link, so put the terms ".pdf Suncorp" into Google seach, click on the .pdf titled "Module: Introduction - Suncorp Group")
However, this file - also a .pdf from Suncorp - will not download on the Tab S, but it works fine on my phone (same McAfee package is used on the phone (Galaxy 4) so I don't really think McAfee is the problem either):
On the Tab S - for some seemingly random files - the download just doesn’t seem to start anymore. ??!?!
On the google search page, a long press on the .pdf files brings up "open in PDF viewer" as a menu option for some PDFs and not for others ... maybe this is a clue?
As noted above, this random refusal to download acurs with other files types as well, not just PDFs.
Any suggestions? I use this device mostly for accounting & banking, so this problem is a real pain!
With thanks for you time,
Michelle.
(Galaxy Tab S, model SM-T805Y).
