I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI which can open an encrypted pdf file that contains a space in the password on Mac OS X Yosemite, however, if I download the file in Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit) and just click the file that shows on the bottom row of the Chrome window, it fails to open with bad password. If I remove the space from the encrypting password, Chrome opens the file correctly.

Who is responsible for the decryption when opened in this way so I can report the bug to the proper software tool?

How can I configure Chrome to not use its built-in capabilities to read a pdf file and instead open them in Adobe Acrobat?

    Chrome has a built-in PDF reader. So if its unable to decrypt a PDF encrypted with a password with certain characters, then that implantation of the PDF capabilities is at fault. Simplest solution; Configure Chrome to use Adobe Acrobat instead of its built-in capabilities – Ramhound Jan 12 '15 at 18:59
  • @Ramhound Good info, thanks. How is that configured? – WilliamKF Jan 12 '15 at 19:07
  • Set with the options menu within `Chrome`. – Ramhound Jan 12 '15 at 19:18
