How?

When I click on a PDF file, like in my file manager or in Dropbox, it puts up the App Chooser to find out what app to open it with. Chrome does the same unless (I think) the PDF is a Google Drive doc.

I did a Google search in Chrome for "PDF Example" and got a bunch of hits. Clicking on links usually put up the App Chooser but some of them just opened directly in the Drive PDF Viewer (maybe they were Drive files?)

I'm getting mixed results in Chrome when it does show the App Chooser. If I re-select Chrome in the App Chooser, it downloads the file to disk. If I select Dolphin in the App Chooser I sometimes get an error that the file couldn't be displayed, but other PDFs cause Dolphin to put up a Download dialog, and yet others do display in Dolphin. I'm not sure why various PDFs would behave differently in Dolphin.

I no longer have Android Firefox installed so I didn't test that. Naked Browser, which I really like, just does an immediate download of the file without even asking.
