download vs open in acrobat - auto

Question

suddenly today, when I select a pdf on a website, instead of a diaglog where to download

(and better yet coming up with the last download folder which is so very hand when downloading

multiple files from same site, ) the file is automatically opening in acrobat where I can save but

don't like the extra steps involved, didn't change any settings? my chrome setting is to ask where to

download, how get back to where to save instead of this new open in acrobat?

I don't use Chrome on a regular basis so not sure if this is up to date, but in the past this was the trick:

Click the three-dot Menu button and choose Settings.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and expand the Advanced section.
Under the Privacy and security section, you'll see an entry titled Content settings. Select this.
Here, scroll until you find PDF documents and open it.
You'll see an option titled Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome. Toggle this on.
