Q. I can download my PDF, but I cannot open it in Adobe Acrobat
Answer
This commonly occurs when your browser is set to open PDFs in a new browser window instead of in Adobe Acrobat. In Chrome, you may see the following error message:
You can change your Chrome settings so that it automatically opens PDFs in Adobe Acrobat:
1. Click the 'three dots' menu in the top right corner of Chrome:
2. Select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu:
3. Select 'Privacy and Security':
4. Select 'Site Settings':
5. Under 'Content', select 'Additional Content Settings':
6. Select 'PDF Documents':
7. Select 'Download PDFs':
PDFs downloaded in Chrome will now automatically open in Adobe Acrobat, or your default PDF reader (if different).
