Single-page-view PDF displays as multiple-pages in Chrome

I have a six-page interactive PDF. It is set up to show the first page in single-page view. Clicking on different parts of the illustration changes the display to the corresponding page with additional information. A problem exists, however, when this file is opened in Chrome ("Open PDFs in Chrome" setting is on). When viewed in the broser, the PDF is displayed as a multi-page scrolling document, not single-page view. This behavior 'kills' the interactivity. Is there a setting within Acrobat that will force single-page view regardless of which app or browser is displaying the file? Or is this a limitation of the Chrome PDF engine?

 

I have attached the PDF here for reference. Please help. Thanks.

- No. If the Initial View setting didn't work it's unlikely anything else will, although in theory this can also be achieved using a script.

>Or is this a limitation of the Chrome PDF engine?

- Apparently. You should report this issue to them as a bug.
