PDF not downloading in Chrome

Question

I have integrated the following page click here into expression engine. Only certain PDFs will download in chrome, as demonstrated in the link above, whereas with Firefox users are able to download all PDFs on the page. I've been searching through various expression engine forums and followed instruction such as disabling my XSS Filter and re uploading all my PDFs. I'm also running this latest version of EE and i've tried downloading PDFs logged out of the super-admin account. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue or an issue with expression engine, has anyone come across this problem before?

Accepted Answer

It looks like you're delivering those as type `application/octet-stream`. You'll want to start, then, by delivering them as `application/pdf`. Add this to your .htaccess (if you don't have access to you Apache config or can't reload your Apache config):

```
AddType application/pdf .pdf 
```
