Invoice preview blocked ("This content has been blocked by site owner")

Written by Tina

👉 Why does my invoice preview show "This content has been blocked by site owner"?

This happens when your browser is set to download PDF files instead of displaying them in the browser tab. When Datamolino tries to show the invoice inline, the browser blocks it and shows this message instead of the document.

👉 How to fix it?

Do all three of the following, in order:

  1. Clear your browser's cookies and cache.

  2. Make sure PDFs are set to open in the browser instead of downloading automatically. In Chrome, go to chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments and check the PDF setting there.

  3. Fully close and reopen your browser (not just the tab) so the change takes effect.

Q: Do I really need to restart the browser? Yes. Changing the PDF setting alone isn't enough - the browser needs to be fully closed and reopened before the change applies.

Q: I cleared my cache but it's still blocked - why? Clearing cache and cookies alone won't fix it if the PDF download setting is still on. You need both the setting change and a full browser restart.
