Sorry for the late reply. I just saw this question. If you have questions about chrome browser, ask them in the google group chromium-discuss. In fact, questions about any chromium based browser (e.g. chrome, MS Edge and several others) can be asked here. Don't confuse chromium-os with

Lionel, Could it be that your PDF reader (or maybe the reader that Chrome wants to use) doesn't support PDFx files? I usually use PDF-XChange, but it doesn't support PDFx files so I also got the text when I tried with it. I installed Adobe reader and from File Explorer right-clicked and
