The only thing I am not able to do day-to-day on my chromebook is complete PDFs, specifically this one https://www.england.nhs.uk/revalidation/wp-content...

Any chromebook users have a solution?

I've used DocHub successfully whenever the need arises. It will connect to your Drive account too.
(I usually disconnect such apps when I'm no longer using them)
Also used Lumin PDF in the past, but can't remember much about it to be honest. It did what I needed at the time, but there must be a reason I switched from it to DocHub.

No joy with dochub. I just get the "Please wait" holding document.

I've already used it today on an 8 page PDF.
I'll check that PDF you linked to later when I have time.

The problem appears to be that particular PDF file itself. It doesn't work with any version of Adobe Reader either, except that on Windows or Mac, or so they claim. I tried it on Adobe Reader on my Pixelbook and Adobe popped up a nice message saying likewise.
A quick Google also reveals suggestions from the NHS that Windows 10 users should use Internet Explorer instead of Edge, and there are indications there are lots of problems for Mac users too. They claim it doesn't work on iPhones or iPads either, so you may have hit a roadblock. When the NHS are suggesting Internet Explorer you know it's a legacy issue.
If you definitely can't use a Windows machine try a trial of some of the remote machines in the cloud. There's a number of options out there, although I can't say what the best current recommendations are. Not used one in a few years.

Thanks for checking. I am reassured that I am not missing a simple solution, but frustrated too.
