chromebooks

anyone use one and could help with saving things such as statements as it looks like you cant use adobe reader anymore
any help please would be great thanks:sherlock:

I use one. I'm useless with computers but manage OK. The main problem I have is with printing. If I want to print something I have to e mail it to my laptop and then copy. There must be easier ways but that is what I do. However, for simple things like surfing the internet a chromebook is unbeatable. They are fast, not hampered by continual updates and don't need anti virus software. For me it's ideal but for certain applications they can be problematical for those who are computer challenged.

For stuff like this I would just save it to a Drive folder, rather than saving to a physical drive on your chromebook. (Although I wouldnt save bank statements anyway, they are surely available via your bank for as long as you need them). Or do you mean you are struggling to open pdfs so you can see them on your chromebook?
