Problem: Google Chrome automatically launches Adobe Acrobat when Chrome is launched.

[Bobby Henderson]

I've literally had to uninstall the Acrobat plugin from Google Chrome due to a very irritating behavior that just started a few days ago. The problem is like what I stated in the subject title. Every time I initially launch Google Chrome it also automatically launches Adobe Acrobat. I am not opening a PDF file in Chrome. All I am doing is just starting the web browser. Nothing else. But every time Chome is launched the Acrobat window would launch and jump in front of it. I looked all thru Acrobat's settings and Chrome's settings and couldn't find anything to defeat that annoying behavior. The only way I could finally get Chrome to stop launching Adobe Acrobat when Chrome is first launched was by removing the Acrobat plugin completely.

I don't like having to remove the Acrobat browser plugin because there are nice features about it. But I don't need the Acrobat window jumping up in the way every time I launch the Chrome browser. Has anyone else been dealing with this issue lately? If so, have you found other fixes for the problem other than removing the browser plugin?
