    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? 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.
