how do i stop this from happening?

You should be able to set your Google Chrome to download the PDF file instead of opening in a new browsing tab for viewing.

Is this happening with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

Also, do  you have installed the Adobe Acrobat extension in your Chrome web browser?

Im opening an existing PDF on my PC, using reader DC not pro. Don't have the extention dowloaded

I assume that Google Chrome is already your default web browser.

If that is correct, I would suggest to try this first:

• Go to the folder where the PDF file is saved
• Right-click on it amd select from the context menu "Properties"
• If the file is set to open in Google Chrome, change the "Open with" option to Adobe Acrobat Reader
• Click OK to commit the changes

You should notice that the PDF file will now open with Reader instead of Chrome.

Also, if you're on Microsoft Windows 10, you may also want to change the default PDF handler to Acrobat Reader from the App settings.

See the link below:

My second suggestion is to also install the Adobe Acrobat extension as suggested in the Adobe HelpX guidance below:

• https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/open-in-acrobat-reader-from-chrome.html

Or if you don't want to have an extension, you can switch off Google Chrome's built-in native PDF viewer.

See this additional guidance (the answer is a few topics down on that web page):

Sorry about all the verbage.

Seems like if the file is requiring  to  access online content.  Is this happening when you try to perform an action in Acrobat Reader or just as soon as the file opens?

[Kiran25595175yacf]

It happens as soon as I open the file.

I'm looking for the solution for mac, still waiting for the support team to help on that.
