Solve PDF issues by reconfiguring your browser to work with Acrobat or Reader plug-in.

A probably faster way to do the same thing: go to chrome://plugins (in firefox, that would be about:plugins), and disable the acrobat reader plugin – Babu Aug 23 '10 at 13:24 As I mentioned in my answer I don't have Adobe Reader installed any more but this looks like the best solution for those that do.

Many recent browser versions include their own, native PDF plug-ins that automatically replace the Acrobat and Reader plug-in from Adobe. Installing Firefox 19 or later, for instance, can result in your Adobe plug-in being disabled and replaced. Browser plug-ins typically do not support all PDF capabilities or offer comparable features. If you experience the following problems, you may need to revert to the Adobe plug-in:

Parts of a PDF don’t display
Poor performance or image quality
Large files sizes when printing to PDF
3D models don't render
Embedded SWF files don't play

Manually change your browser preferences so that it uses the Acrobat or Reader PDF viewer.

In the Content Type area, scroll to Portable Document Format (PDF).

Click the Action column next to Portable Document Format (PDF), and then select an application to open the PDF. For example, to use the Acrobat plug-in within the browser, choose Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox).

Select Portable Document Format (PDF) from the Content Type Column.

Click the Action column next to Portable Document Format (PDF), and then select Use Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in.

Chrome and Acrobat are no longer compatible. For more information, see Change in support for Acrobat and Reader plug-ins in modern web browsers.

In the Finder, select a PDF, and choose File > Get Info.

Click the arrow next to Open With to expose the product menu.

Choose either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader from the application menu.

When asked if you want to change all similar documents, click Continue.

In the Preferences window, click Security, and then click Website Settings next to Internet plug-ins.

Select Adobe Reader in the list of plug-ins. Under When Visiting Other Websites, in the drop-down list choose Allow Always and click Done.

The browser is now set to use the Adobe Reader plug-in to display PDFs.

A forum I frequent was down today, and upon restoration, I discovered that the last two days of forum posting had been rolled back completely.

Needless to say, I'd like to get back what data I can from the forum loss, and I am hoping I have at least some of it stored in the cache files that Chrome created.

I face two problems -- the cache files have no filetype, and I'm unsure how to read them in an intelligent manner (trying to open them in Chrome itself seems to 'redownload' them in a .gz format), and there are a ton of cache files.

Any suggestions on how to read and sort these files? (A simple string search should fit my needs)

EDIT: The below answer no longer works see here

In Chrome or Opera, open a new tab and navigate to chrome://view-http-cache/

Click on whichever file you want to view.You should then see a page with a bunch of text and numbers.Copy all the text on that page.Paste it in the text box below.

Press 'Go'.The cached data will appear in the Results section below.

Chrome stores the cache as a hex dump. OSX comes with xxd installed, which is a command line tool for converting hex dumps. I managed to recover a jpg from my Chrome's HTTP cache on OSX using these steps:

Goto: chrome://cache
Find the file you want to recover and click on it's link.
Copy the 4th section to your clipboard. This is the content of the file.
Follow the steps on this gist to pipe your clipboard into the python script which in turn pipes to xxd to rebuild the file from the hex dump:https://gist.github.com/andychase/6513075

Your final command should look like:

pbpaste | python chrome_xxd.py | xxd -r - image.jpg

If you're unsure what section of Chrome's cache output is the content hex dump take a look at this page for a good guide: http://www.sparxeng.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/chrome_cache_html_report.png

If the file you try to recover has Content-Encoding: gzip in the header section, and you are using linux (or as in my case, you have Cygwin installed) you can do the following:

visit chrome://view-http-cache/ and click the page you want to recover
copy the last (fourth) section of the page verbatim to a text file (say: a.txt)
xxd -r a.txt| gzip -d

Note that other answers suggest passing -p option to xxd - I had troubles with that presumably because the fourth section of the cache is not in the 'postscript plain hexdump style' but in a 'default style'.

It also does not seem necessary to replace double spaces with a single space, as chrome_xxd.py is doing (in case it is necessary you can use sed 's/ / /g' for that).
