I understood that websites mention a requirement to read a PDF file, but
they were happy to let the user download it anyway or choose any program
to view it. For example, in my Debian Testing sytem, I do not have the
acrobad plugin (that automatically opens a PDF file within the browser)
installed and the browser presents a dialog box asking me what to do
with the PDF file. I save it or just open it with any application (kpdf,
evince, acroread). I have never had a problem in this.

Could you give the URL of the website you are trying?

Regards.
