I have a web application that displays PDF's. In IE, it uses the Adobe Acrobat viewer. In Chrome and Edge, they use their own PDF viewer. For regular PDF's, everything works well.
For Portfolio PDFs, IE is fine since it uses the Adobe Acrobat viewer. In Chrome and Edge, they don't view the portfolios, and we are currently asking users to download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat.
Is there any setting/change to get Chrome and/or Edge to be able to display a portfolio PDF? Or is there any 3rd party control that I can add to the web application to use it to display the portfolio PDF?
We also have a similar issue with certain PDF forms and PDF's with signatures in Chrome and Edge. I'm hoping that using a 3rd party control or any setting/changes could alleviate this as well.
you said,"I get a message 'For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Acrobat Reader X, or later."
I try to search about this issue and found that this is a Cover sheet for your portfolio PDF that gets display when the user tries to open the portfolio PDF in an application that does not support the portfolio PDF.
Ref: For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later merged PDF
You had asked,"Is there any setting/change to get Chrome and/or Edge to be able to display a portfolio PDF? Or is there any 3rd party control that I can add to the web application to use it to display the portfolio PDF?"
Both MS Edge and Google Chrome browsers do not support viewing portfolio PDF, so there is no setting/change available that can help you view portfolio PDF in Edge or Chrome browser.
I am not aware of any third-party control, I suggest you raise a new question about this on Adobe Support Community. As portfolio PDF supported by Acrobat reader they might give you some helpful information.

I am looking to display a 3D PDF file in the Chrome browser and tried almost all the options, including the solution discussed in the following question.
How to display 3D PDF in Chrome & Firefox Browser
Since Google has disabled the NPAPI support as mentioned in the link below, therefore, the solution mentioned in the above link seems not working any more.

According to my search, the Adobe Acrobat reader can not be used to view the PDF file within the chrome browser.
I am also open to any alternative approach that displays 3d model, created in AutoCAD, using HTML on Chrome browser
Thanks in advance.
I have some pdfs that should be viewable but not downloadable. Currently the pdfs are viewed and displayed in different browsers differently through various browser plugins that all permit pdf downloads. Is there a way to restrict these downloads if not in all plugins then just the google chrome pdf viewer specifically. Or is there a simple cross browser solution for viewing pdfs but not allowing them to be downloadable
By the time the PDF gets to the browser plugin, it's already been downloaded.
If you only want one page at a time, you'll need to implement a server-side mechanism to handle that. Like Amazon's "Peek Inside" feature
Using an Android phone, when i click on a pdf link (i.e. example.com/abc.pdf), Chrome downloads it. I want Chrome to directly open it with the default pdf viewer of the user. So i think i need to use:
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents
I do not want to force user to open it with a specific app (i.e. adobe reader) so i do not know the package name.
Any help?
If it is not possible, how to open it with adobe reader?
many hours of trying...and at last...

I am building mobile app for Android and iOS platforms using Phonegap. I want to use a html5 document viewer to display pdf's, ppt's and all in the mobile app.
I saw Crocodoc. Its good, but i need to something open source which i can tinker with.
Can you please suggest if currently there are any open source solutions to display documents in the mobile app ??
Is there a way to embed a pdf in a page and when it opens, to show two pages at once, side by side?
I want to simulate what happens when you open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat, then check "Two page View" and "Show cover page in Two Page view" under View->Page Display
I don't want to use a pdf reader script in my page; I'm happy if this only covers the set of users using more advanced in browser pdf readers.
Cheers
What you are trying to do involves browsers from multiple vendors and multiple versions of it, there is no concise and succinct answer to your question.
When trying to present a PDF document to a user via the web browser, in a particular fashion, you could use the following Parameters for Opening PDF Files
However, the parameter that you are looking for "Book View", i.e, Two Pages in a single view is not supported as per the official documentation.
Chrome and Acrobat are no longer compatible.
Change in support for Acrobat and Reader plug-ins in modern web browsers
For, other browsers that still support PDF plugins, use the following guidlines to Display PDF in browser
(This is mostly on the user side)
