Open PDF using Google Chrome

google-chromepdf

I like the fact that I can use Google's built in PDF viewer instead of a separate application (Adobe Acrobat). Normally I would open a Finder Window with the PDF and drag it to a tab on Google Chrome but this process becomes two steps if the PDF is to be downloaded first.

I tried changing the default application for PDF using "Get Info" > "Open with", but it does not seem to work properly. I still have to drag a file to a Chrome Tab. I would like to ideally double click to open as well as drag to the Chrome icon in the dock.

Make sure you click the "Change All" checkbox in the Get Info window.
