Automatically "Open When Done" in Adobe

I use Chrome to download my daily newspaper.  The download shows progress.  In the progress box, I must select "open when done" every time I download.  Is there a way to make the selection permanent?  

 

Thank you

Thank you, All, for your suggestions.  Some how my newspaper now opens automatically!  I don't know what I did to fix the problem, maybe Chrome had an update.  Thank you!

The onboard PDF viewers in browsers are notoriously bad.  For best results, make Acrobat your default PDF viewer from your computer's operating system settings.   If you don't now how to associate files with apps from your OS,  Google is your friend.

When you post a question you always need to tell the program you are using
There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum

This selection is entirely inside Chrome; Acrobat Reader doesn't get involved until Chrome decides to open it. You can check if there is Always Open on a pulldown menu in Downloads.

There is no menu in Chome's Downloads that I can find.  I am using Chrome Version 96.0.4664.110 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Try "Always open in system viewer"
