That vid is me every time I open a pdf and it sends it to some other bullshit. Subscribed. 

If you uninstall Chrome, it won't open Acrobat files any more.

No can do re: company it policy. Got any other words of wisdom?

Change to a company with different browser policy. Strong job market right now, they'll offer to remove Chrome just to retain you.

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?

Wouldn’t that do the opposite of what I’m trying to do?

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.
