The extension doesn't work. I have been unable to convert any web pages to PDF. Adobe Acrobat and Reader are great, but this extension needs to be fixed. The converter works in Internet Explorer but not Chrome. Adobe, please let us know when you have applied the patch. This extension would be very useful to me personally. Hi, I need to open a PDF from the browser, using specifically Adobe Reader. I have Adobe Reader installed and it works fine as a standalone application, however I'm unable to find it under chrome::plugins to activate it in order to open PDF files from the browser. I see in a lot of posts that it should show up under chrome::plugins. Jul 26, 2016 The Chrome plugin is not able to open documents with dynamic form content, or if it does open it will often cause the forms to not work as intended. To fix this, disable Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe's PDF viewer.

As we use PDF format for our application forms, you will need to get Adobe Reader working on your computer or in your browser. This article provides instructions how to use Google Chrome, a popular browser, to open PDF Forms.

By default, Chrome uses a built-in PDF viewer to open PDF files, so when you click a PDF link on a web page, the file opens directly in your browser.

The following controls are available in the lower-right area of the browser window:

If you've disabled the built-in PDF viewer, Chrome will use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to display PDF files.

Adobe Reader runs inside Chrome as a NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) plugin. Google is phasing out support for NPAPI plugins from the Chrome browser. Since April 2015 (Chrome 42) NPAPI plugins have been disabled by default. It is possible to re-enable them via an override however from September 2015 (Chrome 45) this override will be removed and NPAPI support will be permanently removed from Chrome.

To re-enable NPAPI:

1. Enter: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi in the browser's address bar.
2. Look for the following Enable NPAPI entry.
3. Click Enable.
4. Restart Chrome and then enter chrome://plugins/ in the browser's address bar.
5. Look for the following Adobe Reader entry.
6. Click Enable. This makes Adobe Reader the default PDF viewer inside your Chrome and consequently disables the Chrome PDF Viewer.

Alternatively, you can set any of the plugin Enterprise policies, such as EnabledPlugins or PluginsAllowedForUrls, which temporarily re-enable NPAPI support.

After NPAPI support is removed from Chrome, if you need to use Adobe Reader inside a browser, you must use another browser until a replacement plugin becomes available for Chrome.

If you have enabled both NPAPI support and either the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader plugin, but you are still experiencing problems please follow the following steps.

First check if the issue is specific to Chrome. Try opening PDFs in another browser on your computer, such as Firefox. If you experience similar problems viewing PDFs in another browser, the issue is likely not related to Chrome, so you need to visit the Adobe support site for additional help.
