My Honda auto users manual is a pdf file which is the first pages of dozens of pdf files linked together so when you click on the arrow at the top of a page the next file opens and so on so the whole manual is available.

On my pc (XP with Firefox) this works perfectly.

On my tablet, Android 4.04, I try to open the file and it defaults to saving the file instead of opening it in the browser.

How can I force it to open the file? I have Adobe reader 10.4.2 installed.
Thank you,
Don
