But unfortunately without installing or using any extension, you can enjoy PDF files on google chrome. Because google chrome has a default integrated PDF reader so you don’t require any additional software or extensions to view PDF documents, download PDF documents and convert into PDF.

On the other hand, adobe extension required much more permission from the user. To improve the adobe for a user it asks for the “Adobe improvement program” if you enable it, the extension will send your data (your browsing data, history) to their web server.
