OrbitNote has replaced PDF Reader. For users who already have PDF Reader installed on their profile, PDF documents will open automatically with OrbitNote. From the Google Drive, right click and select Read&Write for Google Chrome or OrbitNote. There will be a one time prompt to select "Sign in with Google" and you will be asked to allow OrbitNote to access your Google Drive. After the one time sign-in and allowing permissions, OrbitNote will open PDFs once 'Open with: Read&Write for Google Chrome' is selected from the Drive.
