How to disable Chrome PDF Viewer in Google Chrome and reenable the Acrobat Reader plugin
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/07
Google Chrome integrated a PDF viewer that is far less functional than Adobe Reader.
In fact: if you had Adobe Reader as PDF viewer, Google Chrome will just use their own.
One of the things I use a lot is the multi-page view (2 page next to each other; fits nicely on a 1920×1200 screen).
It is actually pretty easy to switch back:
- Go to the about:plugins URL.
- Disable the “Chrome PDF Vieuwer” plugin.
- Enable the “Adobe Reader 9” plugin.
Done.
Notice that the extensions are in a different URL than the plugins: chrome://extensions/ versus about:plugins
