yogesh goad Problems in displaying pdf Attachment file on a visual force page
I am able to upload and retrieve the attachments to my custom object in a table.
clicking on the attachment id takes me to the page in the below image.
The problem is with the "Viewfile" link on this page. it downloads the uploaded file without extension instead of displaying it in browser.
Is there a problem with my browser or its a problem with salesforce.
This same link works fine with Documents but size constraint does'nt allow to upload files larger than 5 mb with Document.

It is a browser setting as far I guess becasue some time file will open in browser and not downloaded some time vice versa happen.
Still salesforce has increased the limit size of file 5 to 25 MB but may be some instance are not updated.
Thanks for the reply . The "viewfile" link with which i have problems was working previously for other users . i was suggested to use the above link to display pdf on the browser by previos users. here is something which i came through searching for a solution to my problem and the pictures show it worked fine for him.
