Google Chrome PDFs – Disable Chrome PDF Viewer Plugin

Posted on Mar 21, 2011 in Technical Tips | 2 comments

I was losing my mind with trying to print a PDF I had opened in Google Chrome. I also missed some of the Adobe Reader features like bookmarks that I was accustomed to. I like the speed of Google Chrome’s rendering of PDFs, but these things were sorely missing in some cases, so I thought I would show how I got back my old Adobe functionality by disabling the PDF plugin.

In your Chrome browser, simply navigate to chrome://plugins. You will then be able to disable the Chrome PDF Viewer.

I hope this saves someone else some headache and maybe is useful for disabling other Chrome plugins down the road.
