In this tutorial, we will teach you how to use the Chrome PDF plugin. If the Chrome PDF plugin is disabled, Chrome will download PDF files but not open them in the browser. Once the plugin is activated, you will be able to view PDF files only in Chrome. Additionally, we will give you an overview of the PDF viewer options and how you can use them to your advantage.
Step 1: Check if the Chrome PDF plugin is enabled
If the Chrome PDF plugin is not enabled, you may see that the browser does not open the PDF file and downloads it instead.
Step 2 – Go to Settings
To enable the feature, move to the upper right side of the window and click the /"Customize Toolbar/" button. Once the menu is displayed on the screen, click on the /"Settings/" option.
Step 3 – Go to Advanced Settings
Once done, the settings page will open. Scroll down and you will see the option /"Show advanced settings/". Once you click on it, additional features will be loaded in the same page.
Step 4 – Go to Content Settings
Now scroll down to the privacy section and click on the content settings button.
Step 5 – Go to the Plug-Ins Section
This will open the content settings window. There, scroll down to the /"Plug-ins/" section and click on the /"Disable individual plug-ins/" option.
Step 6: Enable Chrome PDF Viewer
Once done, a new tab opens and there you can see the list of plugins. Locate the /"Chrome PDF Viewer/" option and click on the /"Enable/" option. Also remember to check the box labeled /"Always allowed/".
Step 7 — Open PDF file
Now let's open a pdf file in Google Chrome. And there you have it, the Chrome PDF view will open the PDF file in the browser.
Step 8 – PDF Viewer Options
From the toolbox appearing at the bottom right of your screen, you can change how the pdf file is displayed. For example, you can zoom in to the page level, zoom in or out as needed. You can even adapt the display according to the width of the screen. Moreover, you can even save and print the document from here only.
