Fireball-220 Confluence 5.1-OD-8; Fireball-221 Confluence 5.1-OD-9
Description
NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding bug report.
The current behavior (Confluence not allowing PDF files to be opened in the browser) is a side effect of a security improvement added to the product. As PDF files can be "active content", the behavior in Confluence will not be reverted.
Workarounds:
For Self-Hosted Instances
1. Click on cog at the Confluence header and choose "Confluence Admin"
2. Under "Users & Security" choose "Security Configuration".
3. Click any of the "Edit" buttons on the page and find the "Attachment Download Security Policy" section.
4. Select the "Insecure: Display all attachments inline" option and click "Save".
For OnDemand Instances
Create a Support ticket at http://support.atlassian.com requesting the change to be done in your instance.
