Help viewing PDF in Chrome browser

[gb38]

I had this extension in Chrome and accidentally deleted it. I added it back but now I can't get it to work. I don't know anything about coding, and the Chrome Web Store support/review pages weren't helpful. In my Chrome extensions manager, it is "enabled" and "allow access to file URLs" is checked. I can't figure out how to get this thing to work! Please help.

• What isn't working?
• Did you try to restart Chrome?
• Could you elaborate a bit on what you were expecting and what happened instead?
• What version of Chrome are you using, and on which OS (Windows/Mac/Linux/ChromeOS)?

• Normally I have the option in Google Drive to right-click a .pdf file and "open with" and select an app, but this extension is not on the list. I have no idea how to open something with this extension instead of the default app.
• I have not restarted Chrome yet because I have a lot of tabs up for work and didn't want to risk losing them. But I will try that!
• I'm not sure what I was expecting. I tried everything I could find to get the extension running as the default .pdf viewer but it's not working. I don't even know how to access it for viewing .pdf files. I don't have any experience with extensions.

Currently, the only supported way of opening Drive files on Chrome OS is via the Files.app.

To integrate tightly with Google Drive, I would have to set up Drive integration as explained at https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/listing and https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/enable-sdk. But this seems to require a separate website, while I really want to keep the PDF.js extension fully offline...
