There IS a way to stop Chrome (or Chromium) from showing this annoying prompt. You have to exit browser, locate Preferences file of your Chrome profile (~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences in Linux), find 'download' section that looks like: "download": { "directory_upgrade": true, "extensions_to_open": "", "prompt_for_download": false }, and change "extensions_to_open": "", to "extensions_to_open": "pdf", and you won't see that prompt any more :) If there are already other extensions, use a colon to separate pdf from the existing entries (i.e. "foo:bar:pdf"). Then save the configuration file.
