Chrome Version : 56.0.2924.26 (Google Guado CrOS dev channel)
OS Version: 9000.26.0
URLs (if applicable) : chrome://plugins

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to enable the PDF plugin.

same problem, can't enable it,after disable:
step to reproduce:
 1. open chrome://plugins
 2. disable Chrome PDF Viewer 
 3. close, restart Chrome

problem: can't enable it. say disabled by GPO

other comments:
GPO only set DiskCacheDir,DiskCacheSize,MediaCacheSize. local PC, not domain AD.
I tested to disabled and restart to see if just Adobe is forced to use; and to solve another problem with internal PDF viewer can't save PDF.

Is this still an issue?

Comment 6 by bau...@gmail.com, Mar 1 2017 

no, because chrome://plugins not exist in the new version.
