Hello,

I have been unable to open PDF portfolio's in Chrome. Adobe reader has been freshly installed and is enabled but I still a message to download Reader.

Flash is enabled as well

Chrome is updated.

    Chrome won't do this. It won't use Reader. Download, then open in Reader.

    Because Acrobat Reader doesn't do this and will NOT display PDF files in Chrome. Chrome has a built in PDF viewer that won't handle portfolios. No extensions affect PDF viewing. That's why we say it.

    Yes I am saying that.

    No Adobe does not document what all the non-Adobe PDF viewers (competitors) can or can't do.

    Up until a couple of years ago, Chrome DID use Adobe Reader, and so it COULD show portfolios.

    Are you saying that Chrome is not capable of opening PDF portfolios?

    Do you know if Adobe has the documented somewhere? I need to provide that to a client if so
