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.
