Adobe LiveCycle vs. Chrome

While developing a new UCM service showing an in-line view of some loaded PDF documents, I discovered that Chrome uses the "Chrome PDF Viewer" proprietary plugin.

My goal was to force the official Adobe plugin for viewing my LiveCycle encrypted PDF.
Here's what I've done:
- open chrome;
- in the Chrome address bar, type "chrome://plugins";
- click "Disable" on the "Chrome PDF Viewer" plugin;
- close chrome;
- install Acrobat reader 10.1 (the only version i found fully functional with Chrome and LiveCycle);
- open chrome;
- enable the "Adobe Acrobat - Version: 10.1.X.X" plugin ("chrome://plugins");

done.
