Adobe DC, JAWS 17, Win7. The Adobe XI checkbox you refer to is now buried in Adobe DC’s edit menu, as I explained in my original post. This checkbox, which purports to determine whether a PDF file will or will not open in a browser, works for IE, but has no impact on Chrome.

There used to be a checkbox there labeled, "Display PDF in Browser," which was checked by default and needs to be unchecked. Since doing the same thing I recommended earlier Chrome is now attempting to download and save any PDF link I click rather than opening it in my chosen PDF viewer. Based on what I'm finding out there this has been a recurring problem, but at least it gives you the option to save the file and then open it with your PDF Reader of choice. What version of Windows are you on and what Adobe Reader are you using. It's become more than a bit complicated to disentangle browser, Windows, and Adobe tweaks necessary over time, much to everyone's chagrin. Brian
