Open in PDF Reader is a Chrome extension designed to help you open PDF files directly in Adobe Reader with ease. After installing the extension and ensuring Adobe Reader is on your computer, simply right-click on any PDF link and choose Adobe Reader to open it instantly.

Beyond just opening PDFs, the extension offers a convenient feature to convert your PDF files into JPG or PNG formats. While the browser's built-in PDF viewer handles most basic tasks, this extension is perfect for users preferring the advanced features of Adobe Reader without the hassle.

User reviews

Users appreciate the convenience of having a right-click option to open PDFs externally and find the extension easy to use when functional. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues: the extension often fails to open PDFs directly in external readers without saving, it struggles with accepting file paths to PDF applications, the right-click function sometimes does nothing, and some users are annoyed by having to rate the extension before usage.

Cons

Fails to accept certain file paths to external PDF readers, causing it not to work.
Right-click option exists but sometimes does nothing when selected.
Requires user to leave a review before using, which frustrates some users.

Recent reviews

This does exactly the same thing as Chrome can already do, the only difference being by right-clicking instead of through Chrome's settings. I was looking for something that allows me to open a PDF in Adobe without first having to save it (as is possible with Firefox), and this ain't it.

It does not work because this stupid extenson does not accept this path C:\Users\Win10 Pro x64\AppData\Local\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe

Right-click option is there, but nothing happens. This should be a setting in Chrome as opposed to being an extension.
