Select where you want to save the file to, and it will be saved. This is a Chrome based setting and it will change how Chrome works. You may have a PDF viewer installed on your system.
If this PDF viewer is set as the default app for handling all PDF files on your system, it may intercept the file and open it instead. This tends to happen because file defaults are set at an OS level.
Notice the name of the app opening your PDF file. There are two ways to do that. Step 1: Open the Recent apps screen. Then tap and hold the app icon that is launching your PDF files. Tap on the App info option. Step 2: You will be taken to the App info screen. Hit Advanced followed by Open by default. Step 3: Tap on Clear defaults, if available on your phone. But if the option is missing, tap on Open by default followed by Clear defaults.
Once you clear the defaults for the new PDF reader, you will be asked to set a default app when you open any PDF file. Select the app and tap on Always. So follow the above methods to change the default PDF viewer of your phone and then it will be changed for WhatsApp too. Some phones only show the app icon and not the name in the recent apps screen.
To find the name, tap and hold the app icon in the recent apps screen. The name will be revealed. In case, the name is still not visible, you need to identify the app from its icon and then follow the steps mentioned above. It's possible that one of the recently downloaded apps might be causing the problem. To modify file associations at any other time, however, you'll need to access the Default Programs menu -- it's in the Control Panel, though you can get there by searching for the word 'default' at the Start screen and selecting 'Default Programs' from the available options.
You can select 'Set Default Programs,' highlight 'Google Chrome' on the next screen and configure which files are opened with Chrome -- but you won't be able to manage file types that are not already associated with Chrome, like PDFs or audio files. Instead, select the option to 'Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program' and add Chrome to those file types you want it to open.
File associations on a Mac are modified using the file's icon and the 'Get Info' window. Highlight the icon for a file with the extension you want to re-associate and press 'Command-I' on your keyboard. In the 'Get Info' window, expand the 'Open With' section and select a new application to use as the default for launching these types of files.
Exit the window to save your changes.
