Downloading .pdf files from my cloud-based production software....the issue I am having is this: I ask to open, not save, and an undeleteable text file downloads to my desktop and the .pdf file saves on my desktop. I have the .pdf option under settings saved as "ask". This all started with the new update. Please fix or I am going to another browser. Thank you -
