Whenever Chrome is navigated to a PDF document the display for the page is blank. I can right-click on the blank area and "Save As" to a file on my laptop, but the PDF will not display.
I will confess that this is a recent "bug". Is there way to recover this feature? I've re-installed Acrobat Reader DC, but this didn't help. The Chrome extension is still not available. When you say Chrome is your preferred browser are you referring that it's used as the default browser in your Windows system? For reasons unexplainable, I leave Edge as my default but use Chrome mostly. I shouldn' think this would matter in this case. Just for troubleshooting purposes, you may want to verify if Acrobat is the default PDF owner in Windows If it's not, you can right click on any PDF file, select "Open with another app", select Adobe Acrobat from the listed items.
It is a Chrome web browser that allows me to enable the Adobe Acrobat extension and is by far a lot more secured than Chrome and online privacy oriented. I prepared a few guidelines and slides to illustrate better how the workflow looks like when using the Adobe Acrobat extension in modern web browsers like Chrome.

In addition, you can try some other fixes, for example, clear cache of Chrome , reset the settings to the original defaults or reinstall Google Chrome. Chrome has a built-in setting that forcibly downloads PDFs instead of opening them. While this setting is usually disabled by default, you may have accidentally turned it on, or perhaps a third-party add-on modified it instead.
To check if this is the case, you need to dive into the Chrome Advanced Settings panel. Rarely, you may find certain PDFs downloading automatically even if Chrome is configured otherwise. The reason lies when such PDFs are actually instructed from the server-side to download to your hard drive rather than open in-browser.
There was an add-on in the Chrome Web Store that supposedly stopped these PDFs from downloading forcibly, but it no longer works. Barring a poor internet connection , this usually occurs due to conflicting third-party extensions or malicious browser-targeted code on your PC.
So, let's see how you can get Chrome back to normal. To determine if this the cause of the issue, try working in Incognito mode. Doing this launches Chrome with all extensions disabled. When I click a download button or right click and get no response other than a quick screen flicker … I lose my mind. I hammered on the download button about a dozen times. I ended up uninstalling all of my AV and malware protection software.
I was ready to reinstall Windows 10, but tried Edge as a last-ditch attempt and it worked. I put myself in more danger by disabling my security settings and software than I would have by downloading a bad file. I do know if I use Download Manager, I can get those files in a useable and complete download.
