In this tutorial, you will learn how to change the default PDF viewer in Google Chrome. Many modern browsers have a native PDF plugin that allows you to view PDF files directly in the browser. However, sometimes you may encounter a message saying your PDF cannot be opened and you need to update your version of docHub Reader. This can happen even if you have the latest docHub Reader version because your browser is actually opening the PDF. To switch to using docHub Reader as your PDF viewer, open Google Chrome, search for a sample PDF, and observe how Chrome opens it in the browser rather than docHub Reader.
