chrome pdf

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

Good idea on how to disable Chrome’s PDF viewer (from JC in the lab): 1) Type in chrome://plugins to access the plugins in Chrome. Disable all PDF viewers. There should be only 2:
“Chrome PDF Viewer (Disabled)”
“Adobe Acrobat – Version: 10.1.3.23”
2) Disable them both. Try downloading a PDF. It should go straight to a download instead of a viewer.
