Posted on 10-12-2021
Opening a new application on your computer or searching for a web app for PDF editing can be a hassle, especially when you’re in a hurry. And the native default PDF viewer in your web browser has limited functionality, allowing you only to view or download PDF files.
But the Adobe Acrobat extension for Google Chrome, allows you to effortlessly comment on, mark up, fill in, and sign PDFs, and more — all right from your browser window.
Get the Acrobat Chrome extension
Download the Acrobat extension for free to unlock the power of PDF tools in Chrome where you need them most and go beyond simply viewing and downloading. You’ll save time and energy by filling out, signing, and marking up your documents quickly, without skipping a beat or switching applications.
Already have the Acrobat Chrome PDF viewer downloaded? Open Chrome and follow these simple steps to enable your extension and set it as your default PDF viewer in your browser’s content settings.
Intuitive online PDF tools for everyone
When you are viewing a PDF online, sometimes you need to sign it digitally, add a comment, and send it back. If you’re not already an Adobe Acrobat user, you can open PDFs and view them with your internet browser’s native PDF reader — but you can’t do other important tasks.
To solve this issue, install the Acrobat extension and use the world’s most trusted PDF solution to edit the document right in your browser. No matter what types of PDFs you work with, the Acrobat extension has tools to make life easier.
- Business and financial documents — Comment on annual reports, white papers, spreadsheets, brochures, and marketing materials
- Educational documents — Adjust text documents, school assignments, presentations, eBooks, and lesson plans
- Small business documents — Review and mark up menus, catalogs, newsletters, business plans, lookbooks, and invitations
- Personal documents — Fill out and sign itineraries, medical forms, and service agreements
