Hello, You can download the PMBOK 8th edition guide and then Right Click to OPEN WITH the downloaded file with "Google Chrome" and should work. Tried for myself and it worked.

Also seems to work when using your native PDF reader (windows, right click, open with) I'm using foxit.

Hello, I just became a PMI membership recently and downloaded the PMBOK Guide to prepare for my PMP exam. However, the file appears to be password protected, and my PMI login password isn't working. Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how I can resolve this issue? Is there a separate password needed to access these downloaded files?

This is absolutely nuts. I have to use Chrome to open a PDF that's part of my membership? I don't want to use Chrome. I can confirm it opens and is registered to me (at the bottom it says my user name and ID) when in Chrome, but Edge requires a password. No password or ID number seems to satisfy it. This should have been addressed by now. Almost a year later and this issue remains, this is unacceptable.
