Can you put "[PDF] in your title?

I am asking because a lot of people don't expect a PDF to start downloading when they click a link.

I hate that. Why can't browsers(by default) display it like viewing a website, just store it in cache and delete it after we close the tab, instead of downloading to our hard drives. Its like going on youtube and every video you watch gets downloaded into your hard drive and you gotta delete them manually

Modern browsers do, at least on desktop. I know Firefox does.
