[SOLVED] PDF Media Files not previewing in browser

By default, if you get the url from a Media object in a data table, it’s set up for download (Content-Disposition: attachment). You can create an HTTP endpoint that serves up the file without that header (the opposite of @neriksen85’s question here).

Or, instead of the url property, you can use the (ahem, undocumented) method get_url(False), which gets the non-auto-downloading version.
