Having problems opening a PDF online when using Google Chrome?


We've found that some sites won't properly show a PDF that you are trying to view or download.


You might get a notice something like this:



To prevent this from happening, try changing these settings:

1. Click on the 3 dots on the top right of Chrome.

2. Click on "Settings" near the bottom of the menu.

3. In the "Search settings" field at the top of the page, type "PDF".

4. Click on "Site Settings".

5. Scroll down until you see "PDF documents" and click on it.

6. Toggle the switch On, so it's blue.
