On both jpg images or PDF files, when the user clicks on the link it downloads yhe file instead of opening in the browser.

How to get the File/Image open in browser instead of downloading?

I am sure I should be missing something simple.
Find here the link on the browser

As far as I undertand you talking about PDF files. This behaviour depends on your browser. Some browses will download the file, others, like Chrome, will display it.

I have an application where the user uploads a .pdf file, and when you click on it to view it, it downloads instead of show, and we are using Google Chrome.

Users can change the default behavior in acrobat or acrobat reader.
