Google chrome not downloading pdf files

I'm trying to help another user with a similar but not identical problem. Since you downloaded the Acrobat app and it worked for you I'm wondering if the problem isn't specific to different iPad models. I fthat's the case the best we can hope for is a workaround and the feedback link.

Certainly with Chrome, I know it just hands off the link for the other app to download, because it's annoying to download a large pdf in Chrome, then download it again in GoodReader.

It's not the normal send to mechanism, which is pre-defined. Chrome somehow calls around to apps that are able to accept a given file probably MIME type.

I can get a pdf reader app to display it, but not an app that I need for annotating music notation. If the sheet music app were the only one displaying blank pages, I'd consider the app to be the problem. Thanks to AirPrint being discontinued why?
