The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Maybe I'm off the mark here but I'm just trying to tell you what I'm seeing and I can't see anything coming from Adobe in this field. Adobe upgraded its Acrobat extension for Google Chrome by adding new tools for users to alter a PDFs text and images directly from the browser. The Adobe Reader plugin will not be supported in Chrome. Try to open the PDF again from the website. Deselect Display PDF in browser, and then click OK. In Reader or Acrobat, right-click the document window, and choose Page Display Preferences. Once you’ve installed the extension, start your Google Chrome (or restart it if it was already open) and you’ll see a popup window in the top right-hand corner of the screen asking whether you want to enable the extension that you just downloaded, click on Enable Extension. Meanwhile Chrome and Edge seem to be developing xfa abilities in their own way (with some success) - so it feels like whilst the rest of the world is activily trying to support a feature in Adobe PDFs, adobe are well stagnant in the pdf/browser/development. Try resetting the display preference in your browser to clear up the viewing issue. and this can only be done using the Acrobat plugin not the Chrome plugin. Make sure the Adobe Reader plugin is Enabled and the Chrome PDF Viewer is disabled. So I presume that adobe could sit down and basically re-do their plugin - or perhaps contribute to the Chrome/Edge systems. Then, go back to your plugins in Chrome, 'chrome://plugins'. That has at least attempted the xfa problem with some success (ok it's based on pdf.js - but still)Īnd that's one person doing it in his free time. There are still a few pdf readers around in the add on store. Instead, you can update the Site Settings in Google Chrome so that PDFs are. Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars and Extensions. Google Chrome no longer supports Adobe Acrobat for reading PDFs in the browser. Follow the steps below to configure Internet Explorer to use the Acrobat/Acrobat Reader plugin for viewing PDFs: Open Internet Explorer, and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons. Yes they stopped the NPAPI plugins but that was a security thing. Internet Explorer 11 uses an ActiveX based plug-in. Google specifically blocked Adobe from making a replacement. For many years Chrome has had a built in PDF viewer, made by Google.
