<div>
Go to Default Programs (Control Panel or Settings) and see you can attach PDF to Chrome. <br />
<br />
Normally PDF files are opened by Adobe or by Edge. I have not seen that Chrome is a PDF substitute.
</div>


<div>
You need to tell reader to open the PDF files in the browser.
</div>


<div>
Edward, steps for that would be nice..
</div>


<div>
As John said they will default to IE or Edge....<br />
<br />
Choose Edit—&gt;Preferences.<br />
Select the Internet category from the list on the left.<br />
To display the PDF in the browser, check &quot;Display in browser&quot; To open PDFs
</div>


<div>
Unless Chrome is your default browser.
</div>


<div>
Sorry... you need to open reader and follow the instructions above. :)

@Cobra did you have any luck?

Guys, you are all way off on this. I want the PDF to open up INSIDE the Chrome browser, as in if i see a PDF on the web it should open up in chrome, instead it launches Adobe Reader instead.. The Adobe 'display in browser' option is no longer available in the DC version.
</div>


<div>
Chrome is NOT a PDF reader. We are not way off. If you cannot associate Chrome the way I showed, then it will not associate. <br />
<br />
You need to open the PDF as a url link.
</div>


<div>
Try this link instead...<br />

John, do you even know what I am asking? I have my laptop setup as Adobe as the default, and for example, if i click this test file URL it opens the PDF INSIDE CHROME. On this other PC, it no longer does that.<br />

<div>
Yes I know what you are asking but I have not seen Chrome do what you want inside Windows 10. That is because Edge took it over.
</div>


<div>
I am doing that right now, works fine for me on all of my PC's, except one.
</div>


<div>
And all your PC's are all Windows 10?

The first comment of John went &quot;Go to Default Programs (Control Panel or Settings) and see you can attach PDF to Chrome&quot; - and that is correct. You simply have to assign pdf files to chrome. If you are not able to find the &quot;default programs&quot; settings, click the start button and type &quot;default&quot; - windows will search it for you.
</div>


<div>
Look at OP's comment in ID: 4205045. OP want to click on link within Chrome and PDF should open, not from outside of Chrome.
</div>


<div>
You are correct, these are different things and your answer is suitable, Shaun.
</div>


<div>
Type this in chrome address bar ( not search area ) &nbsp;: <b>about:plugins</b> then hit Enter,<br />
go to bottom, make sure in &nbsp;Chrome PDF Viewer section, <b>Always allowed to run </b>is <b>Checked</b>. <br />
<br />
Type this in chrome address bar: &nbsp;<b>Chrome://settings/content</b> &nbsp;and hit Enter.<br />
go to bottom, make sure <b>Open PDF file in the default PDF viewer application</b> is <b>Unchecked</b>.
</div>


<div>
<i>all of my PC's, except one. &nbsp;.... &nbsp; And all your PC's are all Windows 10? &nbsp;... &nbsp;YES</i><br />
<br />
If you replicated the settings from a machine that works as you wish to the problem machine, then something else is wrong. <br />
<br />
Consider running System File Checker to correct settings. <br />
<br />
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW. Allow to complete. Shut down, start up and test.
</div>


<div>
You wanted an answer to Chrome and you did not provide one other. So your answer is no better than any above. Please delete the question.

Open PDF inside Chrome - Windows 10

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Chrome is a free web browser created by Google. Originally released in 2008, it has grown to become the most used desktop web browser (as of October 2016).

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
