March 26, 20232 yr Change to a company with different browser policy. Strong job market right now, they'll offer to remove Chrome just to retain you. Follow me for more pro job tips.
March 26, 20232 yr On a more serious note, in Chrome, can you go to the top right 3 dots, select More tools, Extensions, and remove the Acrobat extension? Or is that also blocked by your org policy?
March 27, 20232 yr No, or am I misunderstanding your original question? You want PDF to open in standalone Acrobat, NOT in Chrome, correct?

Doesn't Chrome have a built-in pdf reader? The other alternative, I suppose, would be to try to tell it to download pdfs instead of opening them. I hate Acrobat anyway. I'd rather use any other pdf reader unless I need to edit or fill one, and then I'd still rather use any other pdf reader/editor, but the USPTO has certain forms that only work in Acrobat. I also hate Chrome for the most part, I say as I type this from a Chromebook. Edited March 27, 20232 yr by TwiceHorn
