    PDF file is opened in browser window, but I am unable to save or print it. Save option is hidden, but browser's built-in print function gives a blank page. I tried to use Chrome extensions to save it automatically, but these aren't working. Screen capture extensions, like Full Page Screen Capture creates screenshot only from the first page.

    Guess acrobat reader install is mandatory plus extension to save pdf file in Chrome.

    Chrome's built-in viewer working well with other documents, but save option is disabled in this case.

    I'd ask to have a look at it, just for the fun of trying to save/print it, but not sure if forum rules allow it. I always enjoy a challenge.

    If it is a protected .pdf, they probably do not want you to print or copy it. And your browser is not going to help you do that
