PDF Opened with Chrome Extension always asks to save

[brianm92893534]

I've recently switched to Chrome as my primary browser.  I'm using the Adobe Reader extension to open PDF Files.  They open fine but if I then immediately close the Adobe reader window, it asks if I want to save changes.  I've not made any changes so I'm confused why it's asking.  I've uninstalled both the extension and Adobe Reader DC and reinstalled them to no avail.

If I open regular PDF files on my PC, I"m not asked to save them.

OS is Windows 10.

Thanks for any help.

For good measure, this is what happens when I click 'View as PDF' for this thread and then close reader.

You will get this prompt when the document was modified.

But I haven't modified it in any way.  Didn't even scroll.

It can be also damaged and Acrobat Reader repaired it.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that not every .pdf I open with the extension would be damaged? Particularly one generated on demand by an Adobe site?

Is there somewhere better to ask for assistance?

I have no problem with the PDF of this thread.

I guess that's why I'm here.  I'd like to troubleshoot.  Resetting Chrome didn't do anything nor did uninstalling / reinstalling Acrobat Reader.  There's no meaningful options in the extension so I'm not sure how to approach it.

A thought that I had is that it's opening the .pdf in memory and realizes that there's no actual file behind it so it wants to save but opening in memory only seems to be the desirable behavior.  The Foxit extension wants to save the file before opening is the only reason I thought of this.

I think I worked it out finally.  It's one of the settings that Crome sync does.  I disabled everything but my bookmarks and reset settings.  Now everything is gone.
