pdf viewer not working in Google Chrome

[vinman]

Just this week my embedded calendar was previewing beautifully. Tonight, the night before the first day of class, the pdf files will not preview even after I have selected the option to do so. When the link is clicked it goes straight to download, which is NOT what I want. HELP!!!
I am using Google Chrome.

I had an instructor report this to me back on 08-07-20.  I reached out to Canvas Support and it was a known issue at that time.  There has been some communication with support since that time with the latest being on 09-11-20. At that time they stated that they were deploying a fix to the beta environment and to the live environment on 09/23/20.  Hope that this helps.
