If you’re experiencing this error, it usually means your browser or device is configured to automatically download PDF files instead of opening them for viewing.

The automatic download of PDF on clicking “View PDF” is controlled by your browser settings, not by Swipe. To change this behavior:

For Google Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome Settings.
  2. Go to Privacy and security → Site settings → Additional content settings → PDF documents.
  3. Select Open PDFs in Chrome instead of downloading them automatically.

For Mozilla Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox Settings.
  2. Navigate to General → Applications.
  3. Locate Portable Document Format (PDF).
  4. Under the Action column, choose your preferred PDF viewer instead of Save File.
