Make Pdfs Open In Adobe Not Browser
Google Chrome will open PDF files in a Chrome browser window. If you would rather open a PDF in Adobe Reader, you can follow these steps. Chrome Settings. Ensure that Adobe Reader is installed on the computer. In Chrome, go to the “Menu” icon, then choose “Settings“. Scroll to the bottom and select “Advanced“.
To display the PDF in the browser, check 'Display in browser' To open PDFs from the web directly in Acrobat, uncheck 'Display in browser: A More Flexible Approach using Firefox. Mozilla Firefox, a free, Open Source web browser, is becoming increasingly popular in the legal community. Some legal users feel it is more secure than Internet Explorer. Jun 13, 2017 I do not want the Edge browser to open my.pdf files. It has none of the things that make Adobe better and like the BIG TIME BULLY CORPORATION THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN, they are forcing their products down your throat. If not fixed within 10 days, I'll go back to Google and continue my boycott of all things Micrososft!
Lately when I download a PDF in Chrome and click the downloaded file in the bar at the bottom, it opens in chrome. I would like it to open in adobe as default, since I download mostly files with comments or stuff Chrome doesn't support anyway. I have seen this, but it makes chrome download all files and open them in Adobe.
Re: Cannot stop PDF's opening in Internet Explorer (IE) kathyp51679899 Oct 19, 2018 5:57 AM ( in response to mrfsa26301511 ) This may not work for everyone, but I right-clicked on the file in the directory, then properties. I cant get PDFs to stop opening in the browser. I want them to open in Reader. When I do research all I find is stuff telling me to disable the browser plug in (Which is nowhere to be found), or to go into the Adobe preferencesInternet and uncheck the box that says 'Display in Browser'. From your browser, click a PDF file; it should show at the bottom as a downloaded file. Click the arrow next to the downloaded file, and choose Always open files of this type (You may need to manually click Open on any recent files you want to view, otherwise.).
So what I want is: if I click a random PDF, it should open in the chrome browser, if I click a downloaded file from the bar at the bottom or from chrome://downloads it should open the file in Adobe. (Just as it used to be two weeks ago). Is that still possible?
Pdf Opens In Browser Instead Of Adobe

FYI for others: if you're okay with the Chrome PDF viewer, but want only downloaded PDFs to open in your external PDF viewer (Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader, etc.), you don't need to disable the Chrome PDF Viewer.
Always open PDFs using your system's viewer
Simply click the arrow next to a PDF download and select the option to use the system viewer.
Omega drivers download windows 10. When this feature is enabled, Virtual Super Resolutions beyond the native resolution of the display device will be available in a wide variety of games and applications, including the Windows desktop. Effectively, VSR provides a Super Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) feature for the games and applications that do not natively support that functionality.AMD Fluid Motion VideoThis feature uses GPU compute to interpolate inferred frames with real frames and increase overall video frame rate and smoothness when watching Blu-ray content.Performance Optimizations for Gaming on Discrete GPUsAMD Catalyst Omega driver also provides significant performance benefits for gamers who use our AMD Radeon Discrete GPU products.
Turn off auto-open of PDFs in the system viewer
UPDATE 6/7/2017
As of Chrome version 59, the option below doesn't exist in Settings. I'll leave these instructions, because if they ever add it back it'll probably be in the same place.
- Click on the
Chrome Menuicon - Click on
- Scroll down and click
- Scroll down to Downloads. If you have enabled any file types to open using the system viewer, you'll see a button to Clear auto-opening settings. Clicking this will reset the settings for all file types.

You should try this:
- Open Chrome.
- Type
chrome://plugins/in the address bar, hit enter. - Browse the list for Adobe PDF viewer or Adobe reader (and chrome pdf viewer)
- Disable both (although disabling adobe reader would work alone.)
Hope this helps.
In Chrome, type chrome://plugins/
Find the Chrome PDF Viewer and click Disable
From your browser, click a PDF file; it should show at the bottom as a downloaded file.
Click the arrow next to the downloaded file, and choose Always open files of this type(You may need to manually click Open on any recent files you want to view, otherwise..)
The next time you click a PDF file, it should open however your computer is configured to open PDF files. If that method is via Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (standard, pro), then that should meet the need you expressed in your question.
This should solve the problem!
PS:
1- Instead of 1 & 2, you can navigate to: chrome://settings/content
2- You can click on the file name's small (upside) arrow in the 'Downloads bar' at the bottom, and, click on 'Always open with system viewer'. However, this works only for this downloaded file, not other downloads (it should be a bug though)!
3- After doing the above three steps, when you click on a file in the download bar, it first opens another tab and closes it quickly (another bug, which is a little annoying)! But then opens the file in your PDF viewer anyway.
4- Previously you could control this from chrome://plugins which is now removed from Chrome (57 and later versions). So you just ignore what you found on the web about chrome://plugins.
