More specifically, Google Chrome does not provide for an alternate PDF display although as indicated by @Mike Bro, you can configure Chrome to save PDF files. After saving the PDF file, you have an option to either (1) open the PDF file directly in the “system viewer” and/or open the directory in which the PDF file was saved with the file highlighted and open the file manually yourself.

    I open Chrome - I open up the extensions.  There is no option to select Adobe Acrobat.  I need to be able to open a PDF file and convert it to Word format.  How do I do this.

    Hello,

     

    Go to your settings in Chrome, go to: Privacy and security > Site Settings > PDF documents

    Turn on the setting "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome"

     

    Regards,

    Mike

      I can not open my PDFs on my Mac destop. It only opens in the Chrome browser. I reset the Chrome settings to download PDF, not in Browser but it is still opening in Chrome - even after I restarted my computer.
