Hi all! I will start by saying I am new to this forum and I am also new to being the admin of a company site! most everything was set up for me when I got this position, and I haven't had any issues until today. I am trying to upload a PDF into the file manager. I want this to be a public file, that anyone with the link can access, and I am not planning to actually display this file on the website. So far I have created a new folder, "bulletins" within the "public_html" folder to hold the file. Then I uploaded it with a title similar to "xxx_xxxxx.pdf". My problem begins here. I can easily navigate to "www.sitename.com/bulletins/xxx_xxxxx.pdf" but instead of displaying the pdf, it begins the download automatically. How do I make this file show in the browser instead?

  Hello :) This is actually more of a web design question than it is a question about the cPanel/WHM software. You may find the following discussion on a third-party website helpful:
