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.

I was curious myself, those are annoying.

Recently, the chrome browser has begun posting the warning message shown
in this screen capture, which seems like a needless nuisance to me.  Is
there any way to stop chrome from posting this message every time I
receive a .pdf attachment?
