| Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 12/18/08 6:18 AM | I cannot open PDF files found on the internet when I browse using Chrome. This problem does not occur when I visit the same web sites and download the same PDF files using IE or FireFox. I am using WinXPSP3. Below is the popup dialog box error that |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | seattlefiddler | 12/18/08 7:18 PM | Yes, I had the same problem. It seems you can't have more than 1 Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer. I had both Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Acrobat 9pro. I removed Acrobat Reader 8 (no use for it anyway, it was originally on my computer or |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 12/18/08 7:49 PM | Well, I guess I'm doing something special then. I do not have Adobe Reader installed, never have. I have Acrobat 9 installed, and this error only occurs in Chrome, not in FF or IE. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | seattlefiddler | 12/19/08 9:05 AM | Hmmm! It's obviously more complicated. This was not a problem with FF or IE for me either. But now it works fine after I removed AR. With the ubiquity of pdf files on web sites this problem is quite an impediment to using the browser. Anyone else hav |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | Swish | 12/26/08 10:41 AM | Apparently, when adobe reader installs it detects the web browsers on the system and then adds the corresponding browser plug-ins. Just reinstall adobe reader and that should fix it. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 12/26/08 6:56 PM | I do not have Adobe Reader installed on my PC. I have Adobe Acrobat 9. No joy. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | Huntress | 12/27/08 6:41 AM | I filed an issue report on this problem here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3977 I had great success in solving it by following ninkendo's advice--haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 12/29/08 7:30 AM | OK, again, it is NOT Adobe Reader. I do not have Adobe Reader installed on my machine in any way shape or form. It is NOT Adobe Reader. It's Adobe Acrobat v9.0.0. This appears to be a Chrome issue, since it does not occur in either Firefox or IE, |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | Seth Johnson | 12/31/08 7:55 AM | Adobe Acrobat v9.0.0 has Adobe Reader built in... I am on the phone with Adobe Support to rectify this issue. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | Seth Johnson | 12/31/08 8:10 AM | Adobe support said to: 1) Open Adobe Acrobat 2) click Edit > Preferences 3) click "internet" on the left 4) check the box at the top that says "Preview PDF in Browser" (if it is already checked, uncheck it then hit OK, then go back to step 1) 5) cli |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 12/31/08 4:19 PM | No joy. Done this over and over, back and forth. It's not an issue with IE or Firefox. Only with Chrome, leading me to believe the issue is not with Adobe, but with Chrome. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | solgwr | 12/31/08 4:31 PM | I have Reader 9 & have no problems opening up a PDF in Chrome. |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | Seth Johnson | 12/31/08 6:01 PM | What OS are you using? It works in Chrome for me on Vista after making the change described above. Have you tried reinstalling Acrobat? |
| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | exzackly | 1/5/09 6:42 PM | I have the same version of Acrobat on Vista and it works just fine. Have you tried uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling it? Which was on your system first, Acrobat or Chrome? ...just fishing. |

| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | kevinsandlin | 1/7/09 1:46 PM | Seth Johnson and exzackly - thanks for the input. I'm running XPSP3. Acrobat9 was here first, then Chrome in various beta releases and now the latest release. I will try reinstalling Acrobat. |

| Re: Can't view PDF files in Chrome | chocobanana | 2/4/09 6:18 AM | The most likely cause for this type of problem is having two PDF readers installed (i.e. Acrobat + Adobe Reader) If you only have one reader, then you may want to remove Google Chrome altogether, and reinstall using the Google Pack which will make |
