It sounds like your computer may have a default setting that is causing it to open PDFs in Chrome instead of saving them directly. To resolve this issue, I recommend trying the following steps:
1. Open Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner.
2. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. Scroll down and select Advanced at the bottom of the page.
4. Under Privacy & Security, select Content Settings then choose Protected Content, then check "Allow sites to save protected content to your computer."
5. Close out of Chrome and try re-saving another PDF file – it should now save directly to your computer rather than opening in Chrome automatically.
If these steps don’t work, you may need to reset your browser settings or contact technical support for further assistance with resolving this issue.

How do I stop PDF from opening in Chrome instead of Adobe?
In order to stop PDFs from opening in Chrome instead of Adobe, you will need to adjust the settings of both applications. To do this, follow these steps:
1) Open Google Chrome and go to the ‘settings’ page.
2) Scroll down and click on ‘Advanced’.
3) Click on ‘Content Settings’ and then ‘PDF Documents’.
4) Select the option that says "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application". This will ensure that all PDFs are opened with Adobe instead of Chrome.
5) In Adobe Reader, go to Edit > Preferences > Internet. Make sure the options "Display PDF in browser" and “Allow fast web view” are not checked. This will prevent any further PDFs from being opened automatically within your browser.
6) Close both applications, then reopen them again and test if it is working correctly.
