    Hello ​@vasilisnikolo ,

     

    It sounds like Acrobat is currently set to automatically open PDF files after download — a setting controlled within the Acrobat application.Here's how you can disable it:

    1. Open Adobe Acrobat.

    2. Press Ctrl + K to open the Preferences window.

    3. In the left-hand menu, select the General tab.

    4. Look for the option that says either:

      • “Open PDFs automatically in Acrobat when they are downloaded in Chrome browser." or,

      • "Always open PDFs downloaded from the web."Note: The wording may vary slightly depending on your version of Acrobat, but unchecking that setting will stop PDFs from opening automatically after download.

    5. Uncheck this option

    6. Click OK to save your changes.

    Once you've done this, PDF files will download normally without automatically opening in Acrobat.

    Let us know how it went.
