Hello, guys!

I have a very annoying problem with Chrome. It doesn't open pdf files in the browser. I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader 9. Firefox and Opera work with them perfectly. Do you have any clue of what's wrong? Is it a bug of Chrome, or something with my configs?

In my book, that's a feature, not a bug. If I wanted to use my web browser as a PDF reader, I'd assign PDFs system-wide to it.

That being said, the lack of PDF-in-browser may not be a bug at all. It's may not be a supported feature at all. One of the things the Chrome guys have always preached is speed, speed, speed. In my experience, PDF-in-browser is slow (that's why I always download PDFs. There may be a plug-in for it eventually, but I'd be surprised if it became a core feature.

type: chrome://plugins/ in your url window when you open chrome, then find your lower version of acrobat and disable it.

If you have acrobat 9, it should already be in there enabled. Just need to find lower version and disable it.
