PDF file name changes when downloading

When in Chrome, the PDF file name downloads as gibberish. If I use Firefox, Brave or edge, the file name downloads as intended. I thought it might have been a Chromium thing, but Brave runs on Chromium, as well.

Any thoughts?

I post to a site where my PDFs are downloaded daily... and since most of internet users have Chrome as their default browser, unless on MAC, they are experiencing this problem.

i.e. https://www.cookcountycourt.org/division/county-division/adoption-cases

PDFs can be found scattered around that page.

I tried 5 links and none of them were to a PDF file... A more exact description of where to find them would be helpful.

Any of the PDFs on the cookcountycourt.org website. Here is a link to where the files are I was posting on Friday.

https://www.cookcountycourt.org/division/county-division/adoption-cases

Under the "Additional Information" -> "Guardian ad Litem (GAL)" Accordian line... all of those documents.

Any help is appreciated. I have a suspicion it's Google. It's not only my work computer... so I know it's not their systems, it's any computer I try. I am on my home computer today.

Good Afternoon, Tariq -

I figured it was something on Google's end, if it wasn't happening in other browsers.
I highly doubt this is something they will bother with.
Your input is much appreciated.

Hi @GGOCJ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unless you are using the Acrobat Chrome extension, which I believe is not considering your users are also experiencing the same issue.

You need to contact the Google Chrome Support team.

Please feel free to reach out if you have further questions.
