Hello,

DSpace doesn't actually open PDFs inside of itself. It doesn't come with a
PDF reader built in.

When you click on a PDF within DSpace, it is downloaded into your web
browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc), and your *web browser then decides
whether to open the PDF itself, or download the file*.

So, it sounds to me like this may be a difference in settings within your
web browsers on Windows XP and Windows 7.  It's possible one web browser
has a PDF plugin which lets it open the PDF itself..while the other one
does not (in which case the web browser likely would download the PDF to
your computer).

In any case, this doesn't sound like a bug in DSpace. It's likely a
difference in how your web browser is configured on each computer.

If I've misunderstood, let us know on this mailing list...we'd be glad to
help further.

Tim
