To make a PDF clickable on a Chromebook when opened in Google Drive, follow these steps: If the PDF is not clickable, click the download icon or the three dots and open in a new window. Once open in a new window, click the download icon, then access the file from your files or the files icon to open it in the browser in Chrome. This will make the PDF clickable, allowing for easy access and interaction. This method is simpler than installing an extension in Google Drive. Just have students download the PDF and open it from their files to view it in Chrome.
