User Case: Google Chrome Won't Download Files Anymore "Why won't Google Chrome let me download files anymore? I used to download email attachments, pictures and music very easily. Since last week, it's no longer downloading any type of file from any website. What's the matter?" Google Chrome is so simple and powerful that everyone loves it. One of the most common reasons that this issue occurs is because Chrome is set to download the PDF files that you open instead of viewing them natively in the browser. This setting may be changed for any reason whatsoever, but disabling this setting changes it back to viewing PDFs in the browser instead of downloading. This particular error message might occur because of Google Chrome’s inability to open the PDF document. This is typically known to happen with protected PDF documents such as Firmex. In this case, the way around this inconvenient is to download the PDF file and use another software like Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF document.
