Question

Regression in Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension - verified and reproducible

We believe we've identified a regression in the Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension introduced in the recent 26.7.x releases. 

Our web application generates PDF reports in response to an authenticated HTTP POST. 

The server returns the PDF successfully. However, when the Adobe extension is enabled, immediately after the successful POST, the browser performs an unexpected GET request to the same URL. 

This GET fails because the endpoint is POST-only. 

When the Adobe extension is disabled, the unexpected GET does not occur, and the application functions normally. 

We have HAR files and server logs showing both cases. (extension enabled and extension disabled) 

We also noted a related report regarding version 26.7.2.0 and authenticated PDFs in the community.

Can engineers investigate this. We are currently telling users of our app to turn off the extension (and then it works fine) Note: It has been working fine for the last 6 years with the Adobe Extension. This is a new behavor for an existing solution.

Happy to privately share a HAR trace showing the related GET, and access to a reproducible test case if required.

    ​Hi @Raymond27038140oiz0 ,

    Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble you are experiencing.

    A couple of things that'll help get this in front of engineering faster:

    • Which exact extension version(s) have you confirmed this on just 26.7.2.0, or other 26.7.x builds too?

    • What Chrome version and OS are you testing with?

    • Does the unexpected GET happen on every authenticated POST-returned PDF, or only under specific conditions (e.g., certain response headers, file size, Content-Disposition)?

    It's worth linking the other 26.7.2.0 thread you mentioned in your report so they can be triaged together instead of separately.

    You may also submit this through Adobe's official bug/feature form so it gets logged and routed to engineering directly: https://adobe.ly/3TGfNsw. Include the HAR files and the version/OS details above that level of detail (plus a reproducible test case) is exactly what engineering needs to move on something like this quickly.

    Thanks for the reply. I have added this under uservoice as well. (The link you provided)

    This can be reproduced on multiple sites using 26.8.1.4

    It happens on every POST.
