If you can view PDFs while using Incognito mode, the problem is caused by one of your extensions. To open it, click the three dots placed in the top-right corner and select New incognito window. To check for a faulty extension, switch to Incognito Mode. If it's not the internet connection causing the issues, you have to check if you have an extension that stops Chrome PDF Viewer from opening PDFs.

If this is the case, you might have a poor internet connection, or there is an incompatible third-party extension.īefore changing Chrome's settings, check your internet connection. Instead of opening the PDF file, Chrome PDF Viewer might display a black screen similar to the one that appears when a PDF is loading.
