How to Open or Download OnlineCheckWriter.com PDFs in Google Chrome

If your OnlineCheckWriter.com PDF opens in a Chrome tab or downloads automatically, the behavior is controlled by your Google Chrome PDF settings.

This article explains how to choose whether PDFs from OnlineCheckWriter.com should open in Chrome or download to your computer.

Applies To

  • Google Chrome on desktop

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook

  • OnlineCheckWriter.com PDFs, including printable checks, digital checks, receipts, reports, and documents

  1. What to Know

  • Choose Open PDFs in Chrome if you want to preview and print PDFs directly in your browser.

  • Choose Download PDFs if you want Chrome to save the PDF file to your computer first.

  • This setting affects Chrome only. It does not change your OnlineCheckWriter.com account settings.

How to Open or Download PDFs in Chrome

Option 1: Use the Direct Chrome PDF Settings Page

  1. Open Google Chrome.

  2. In the address bar, type: chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments

  3. Press Enter.

  4. Under PDF documents, choose one of these options:

    • Open PDFs in Chrome
      Select this if you want PDFs to open in a Chrome tab.

      Select this if you want PDFs to download automatically.

  5. Return to OnlineCheckWriter.com and open the PDF again.

Which Option Should I Choose?

Choose Open PDFs in Chrome if you want to preview the PDF before printing or saving it. This is useful when you want to check the document before taking action.

Choose Download PDFs if you prefer to save the PDF first and open it using another PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat or your system’s default PDF app.
