Chrome / PDF Problem...

I've recently been working to add PDF generation to a client site and got WickedPDF working. I ran into a problem which I finally resolved (RTFM very carefully)... got some great help from the Wicked folks along the way. In any event, I was finally generating my PDFs fine with Firefox, but Chrome kept failing with the message:
Sorry, we were unable to find the document at the original source. 
Verify that the document still exists.
You can also try to download the original document by clicking here.
All that had to be done was to click on the 'here' link provided, but that's less than an optimal user experience... Not Good, Google! There are quite a few posts out there with the same problem. I finally figured out that this was caused by the Google Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer (I was running version 3.10). Easy solution: in Chrome, go to:
Customize | Tools | Extensions
and disable that extension. Now PDFs are properly displayed.
