Hi, On my computer I get a fly out menu when I open a PDF on the web (Chrome/Edge) called "Open in Acrobat" (In Acrobat öffnen). If I click it, the PDF open in Adobe Reader.

I use Microsoft Edge Chromium and the Google Chrome extension for Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

My problem is, that this is only working in my computer, on my laptop I don't have this option.

How can I activate it?

I tried Adobe Reader x86 and x64 on Windows 10 20H1, 20H2 and 21H1 with current version of Edge Chromium or Google Chrome.

Any suggestion?

Regards

Daniel

For the use of this extension you need a installation of Adobe Acrobat.

Hi Bernd, thank you. But why does it work on my workstation with Adobe Reader DC?

I don't know. Acrobat Reader can't convert websites to PDF.

Open Chrome and go to this URL: chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments

Turn the option on to download PDF files instead of opening them in Chrome.

Thanks, this will open the PDF in adobe directly.

I want to use Chrome a default PDF viewer and if I need some Adobe Features I want to open it in Adobe Reader.

I know it's possible, you can see it in my screenshot.
