Put "about:plugins" in your Chrome toolbar. Find "Chrome PDF Viewer" and disable it. You are now able to actually download PDFs and view them in the PDF viewer software of your choice. As a useful side effect, you can now also use Chrome's Print command and it will go through the system print drivers instead of trying to use the built-in Chrome Print Preview, which you might also prefer. On Linux or Mac systems, you can also download it manually: copy the URL out of the email message. Go into a shell prompt the type "curl 'URL' > Localdir/Localfile.pdf". - Robert On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 17:57, Allan Wechsler <acwacw@gmail.com> wrote:

For me this is No Fun, because for some reason the embedded PDF viewer in Google Chrome can't show these; the rendered page is blank. Does anybody have troubleshooting suggestions?

I used Speciner's ps code to produce these viewable pdf files

I also tried foxit, by the way, which also failed to display these PDFs. So it's not just Google's built-in PDF viewer that has troubles. I'm less than happy putting Acrobat on any machine I care about. -tom On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 3:31 PM, Robert Munafo <mrob27@gmail.com> wrote:

Umm, I meant "address bar", not "toolbar". In other words, put "about:plugins" into the place where you would normally type the address of a website you're trying to visit.
