Lastly, you can open PDF files directly in Google Chrome for Android without the need for any additional apps
The good news is that Chrome for Android allows you to open PDF documents. It may seem a bit strange, but something as simple as this isn't possible at the moment. Fortunately, the situation is starting to change and will be resolved very soon.
What happens is this: If you try to open a PDF file in the Android version of Chrome, you'll notice that the browser will open an external viewer. This means you'll need to install an app on your phone to open the PDF file—a PDF reader.
The easiest way is to let Chrome open them, which is much more convenient, faster, and simpler, and you don't need to install a PDF reader. And that's exactly what's allowed; in fact, the reader is built-in natively.
Chrome for Android has been confirmed to allow you to open PDF files directly without having to use third-party apps. This means that when you find a PDF file on the web, you can now open it without leaving the app with this new feature.
But it looks like this isn't just a simple PDF reader; it will also include some editing tools, such as the ability to use the highlighter and pen tool (with different line widths), an eraser, and even an annotation option.
As a native, integrated PDF reader with Chrome, you can benefit from the ability to search for words or phrases within a document. We think it's a huge step forward that something so essential is finally integrated, but it's also surprising that it wasn't available from the start.

What we don't know yet is when the PDF reader feature will be available in Chrome for Android to view PDF files in the browser. We expect to see it in future updates. When the time comes, we'll just have to update Chrome to finally get this much-needed functionality.
