FileOpen and Google Chrome

If you are unable to read PDFs using the FileOpen plugin in the Google Chrome browser, this is easy to resolve.

Google Chrome no longer supports Adobe Acrobat for reading PDFs in the browser. Instead, you can update the Site Settings in Google Chrome so that PDFs are downloaded to your desktop, where you can open them using an Adobe Acrobat program.

To update your Site Settings, first click on the menu option in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A menu will load and an option towards the bottom is Settings. Select that option. A screen will load with settings options. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Advanced link.

After you click the Advanced link, the page will expand and at the top is a section called "Privacy and security." Click on the section called "Site Settings." The page will expand with additional settings. Towards the bottom is a section called "PDF documents". Click on that.

After you click on PDF documents, you will see a "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome" option. You will want to click on the "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome" option. When you do, the setting should switch from gray to blue. If it's blue, that means Google Chrome won't try and open the PDF itself, but will download it instead so you can open it in Adobe Acrobat.

Once you have made this change, you will be able to open Techstreet PDFs in Google Chrome using Adobe Acrobat with the FileOpen plugin.
