Windows 10: Why The Apparent Double Download Of PDF's ?

thank you very much for that. it fixed the problem. *Smile

 

Probably I'm doing something wrong. Please tell me what.

I google for pdf documents and get some hits.
I click on a link to 'open in new tab' and the pdf opens in new tab.

It takes time to download but when done it's all there apparently. I can click from page to page with greater speed than if it's sending all the pages down from the web all the time.

Or that's what it looks like to me.

But then if I want to keep it on my computer I have to click the 'download' on the pdf doc menu bar.

And then it downloads slowly again and saves as the doc name I gave it. So now I have it.

But it looks to me like I downloaded it twice.

The first time into RAM maybe.

The second time on the Hard Drive.

Is this what happens?
Why must it be this way or must it not?

Windows 10 not saving applications default setting

When I change the W10 settings to open by default any pdf file with Acrobat Reader, is ok for some time: the image of the icons change to adobe and when you double click the file is opened with Adobe Reader, but after the PC is switched on or even after
certain time, it changes back to Edge as the default program to open pdf files without apparent reason, why? I have change the settings several times and W10 keeps changing it back to edge.

 

Microsoft Print to PDF - Bloated file sizes

This is the only reason why I am still using Internet Explorer. Edge does not work with Adobe PDF as a printer and the Microsoft Print to PDF creates files that are at least double the size that Adobe creates.

I would rather use Edge but I won't until this is solved.

 

In Firefox-based browsers, one can configure the options to view the pdf file in the browser in a 'new tab' or to simply download the file without viewing the file in the browser.

How do you have your browser settings configured for pdf's?
