Hi all,
I have a short-lived process to return the PDF to the client.
With IE and Firefox, it works fine, i.e I can view the PDF in the browser.
With Chrome, I see this message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by

In one machine with Adobe Reader 9.4.0, I can view it in Chrome.
In other machines with Adobe Reader 9.4.1 and Adobe Reader X I cannot view it in Chrome.
Which can be the cause of the problem?

The deactivate the Chromium PDF Viewer plugin enter the URL chrome://settings/content, scroll to the very end and activate the check box the use you default PDF viewer. Whenever you now open a PDF from a website Chrome will download and open it with you local PDF Viewer like Acrobat.

In my experience, Chrome will show Static Forms but not Dynamic forms. IE11 seems to be the only browser that still fully supports dynamic forms.

The flags method is not working. I am now using a workaround by checking the option "Open PDF file in the default PDF viewer application.
I would want to just open the pdf file through chrome itself any solutions?

Hi Threshold Energies,
I tried your solution on the latest chrome (Version 52.0.2743.116 m) to open my XDP forms with data without success.
The issues are:
if IE is default browser, the pdf form is open in IE without the data filled in.
If Chrome is default browser, the pdf form will be download first, click it to open in Acrobat Pro without data as well.
How to resolve this?
Best regards,
Michael

This problem seems to be caused by an interaction between Chrome and Adobe Acrobat Reader. The old Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) from 1995 that had security issues appears to have been replaced by Google with PPAPI (Pepper Programming Interface).
I am running Windows 10 and version 52.0.2473.82 of Google Chrome.
To fix this problem, I did the following:
1. In the Chrome address bar, type: chrome://flags
2. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the list until you see: Enable PPAPI Win32k Lockdown. Windows
3. From the dropdown select: PDF only
4. Relaunch Chrome
5. In the Chrome address bar, type chrome://plugins
6. Disable the Chrome PDF Viewer
7. Enable the Adobe Flash Player
8. Exit and relaunch Chrome again.

Chrome just reealased and update so now by default it uses its own PDF viewer.

Scroll down and you will see Chrome PDF Viewer
Click Disable

I think the problem is with Google Chrome 8. I just updated to latest version (8.0.552.215) and can replicate the problem in my machine.
