PDF always opens from Cache

[Matt Latham]

I run a web server whereby I automatically upload newer versions of PDF files to a webpage. When I click on the pdf link on the web page in Chrome, the older version of the PDF opens.

This is because Chrome is loading the PDF from cache. If I clear the cache, the newer version opens.

Question: Can I change the settings of Chrome so that it doesn't load PDF's from cache? Or is there any other workaround? (other than pressing ctl+f5).

Thanks

Matt

Chrome should in general be following normal HTTP caching semantics
for PDF files. So if it always required revalidation, or was no-store
etc. it would go back to the network.

Hi Matt - I was curious if you were able to find a resolution on this problem as I've experienced a similar issue.
