1. Re: PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.
Dave Merchant Dec 2, 2014 8:56 AM (in response to bill-skyworld)Are you using the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugin, or Chrome's internal viewer (which doesn't support many features of the PDF standard)?

3. Re: PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.
bill-skyworld Dec 2, 2014 12:50 PM (in response to Dave Merchant)Using Chrome internal viewer. I can disable this for myself, but this does not solve the problem for site visitors that want the PDF. I should not need to tell them not to use Chrome, but to use IE, Firefox, use Acrobat Reader or mess with their settings. It looks like this is a known Chrome issue. Is there a way to create the PDF file so that images are displayed? Is it the original image file type?

5. Re: PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.
CtDave Dec 2, 2014 1:03 PM (in response to bill-skyworld)"... a known Chrome issue." The resolution lies with Google for this - nothing you can do (other than disable the "in house" browser add-on and enable Adobe's (if you have Reader or Acrobat installed)).
A similar issue exists with other, contemporary, browser releases.
The "fix" is these software houses to deploy PDF viewer browser add-ons that actually comply with ISO 32000.
Perhaps their lazy approach reflects the attitude of "Hey, Adobe will get the hit not us."
Provide your users a feed-back mechanism; you'd be able to respond with the suggestion that they ping on the appropriate software houses to provide adequate software.
Be well...

bill-skyworld Dec 5, 2014 7:59 AM (in response to CtDave)Thanks CtDave - I realized that this was part of the issue. I was hoping that there was a workaround, as lots of online PDFs do not have this issue. I did not know if we could change the way that images were inserted into and image, or the source image type.

Bill@VT Dec 6, 2014 3:46 AM (in response to bill-skyworld)Usually a basic PDF is not the issue, but the issue arises with markup. You might consider changing the compatibility setting in your settings file so that PDFs are created with an AA 9 or X compatibility. It may be that the Chrome viewer is not compatible with the newer versions of PDF. The Apple Preview has similar problems, but usually with form fields.
