Hi I'm trying to make a pdf only open in the browser and it's still prompting to download

IconButton {
                PictureAsPdf()
                onClick = {
                    mainScope.launch {
                        val pdfReport = getSingleReportForView(report.reportFileName)
                        if (pdfReport != null) {
                            val blob = Blob(arrayOf(pdfReport), BlobPropertyBag("application/pdf"))
                            val url = URL.createObjectURL(blob)

                            // Create an iframe element
                            val iframe = document.createElement("iframe") as HTMLIFrameElement
                            iframe.src = url
                            iframe.style.width = "100%"
                            iframe.style.height = "500px" // Set the desired height for the iframe

                            // Append the iframe to the DOM (e.g., inside a specific container)
                            val container = document.getElementById("pdfcontainer") // Replace "pdfContainer" with the ID of the container element
                            container?.appendChild(iframe)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

Iframes smell. Have you tried this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4735968/open-pdf-in-new-browser-full-window

Tried it. Still downloads without opening in browser.

Might just be browser defaults at play. Have you tried the same code on different browsers? i.e. chrome, safari, Firefox, gnome web

yes
