How to keep idm from downloading pdf automatically

Answer (1 of 2): First update your IDM to latest version and then Whatever browser you using update it. Also disable browser integration in IDM settings and then enable it. 1) Launch the internet download manager. 2) Click on Options, and a Window Internet Download Manager Configuration will open 3) Make sure this three options are checked, Run module for monitoring IE based browsers, automatically start downloading of URLs placed to clipboard and use advanced browser integration.  · data-url is used to embed a file in a web page. That makes sense for images. It doesn't make sense for a PDF (or Excel or Word or most other file types) because normally these types of files are in place of a page, not a section of a web bltadwin.rus: 2.

Files kept being automatically downloaded to a default location, after asking me a location for the first file only. Found a solution today. For me, disabling the setting "Open certain file types automatically after downloading", solved the issue. There seems to be some bug in this particular feature, it should not affect the downloading. Step 3: Now, turn ON Ask where to save each file before downloading Option. Since you enabled the feature now, Microsoft Edge will now show a confirmation box every time you click on a downloadable content. Clicking on the button "Save" will save the file to your default download location i.e C drive Users {user name} Downloads. There are three buttons on the bottom of the dialog window. If you want to cancel the download, press on "Cancel" button. If you want to start downloading immediately, press on "Start/Resume" Download. That will bring file IDM file download dialog. The dialog let you get an additional control over the download.

You need to open "Options→General" IDM dialog and press "Edit" near "Customize IDM download panels in browsers". Then enable "Don't start downloading from web-players automatically" option (arrow 1 on the image) and press "OK" (arrow 2 on the image). Internet Download Manager also supports the silent mode when all clicked files are automatically saved to the default directory. If you don't want to see "Download File Info", download progress and "Download Complete" dialogs, you may disable them. This is not something related to developing issue, this is something related to user specific environement. The Issue: Using IDM,any URL that ends with a media extension (e.g *.JPG, *.PNG, *.MP4, *.WMV, *bltadwin.ru) will be downloaded automatically, However on the other hand if the user doesnt have IDM installed, the file will be viewed immediately in browser window.
