Issues in Web Application with PDF Portfolios

I have a web application that displays PDF's. In IE, it uses the Adobe Acrobat viewer. In Chrome and Edge, they use their own PDF viewer. For regular PDF's, everything works well.

For Portfolio PDFs, IE is fine since it uses the Adobe Acrobat viewer. In Chrome and Edge, they don't view the portfolios, and we are currently asking users to download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat.

Is there any setting/change to get Chrome and/or Edge to be able to display a portfolio PDF? Or is there any 3rd party control that I can add to the web application to use it to display the portfolio PDF?

We also have a similar issue with certain PDF forms and PDF's with signatures in Chrome and Edge. I'm hoping that using a 3rd party control or any setting/changes could alleviate this as well.

Do you mean you want to see the Table of contents or page tabs with the pdfs? If I am misunderstanding, can you please try to provide a screenshot of the issue? If possible please try to provide the sample pdf file that can help us to reproduce the issue on our end. It can help us better understand the issue.

When I try to view a PDF Portfolio in Edge, I get a message 'For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Acrobat Reader X, or later. I currently have XI Pro installed. But I need to view the PDF portfolio inside the web application in Edge (and Chrome). – Jeff Nichols

you said,"I get a message 'For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Acrobat Reader X, or later."

I try to search about this issue and found that this is a Cover sheet for your portfolio PDF that gets display when the user tries to open the portfolio PDF in an application that does not support the portfolio PDF.

Ref: For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later merged PDF

You had asked,"Is there any setting/change to get Chrome and/or Edge to be able to display a portfolio PDF? Or is there any 3rd party control that I can add to the web application to use it to display the portfolio PDF?"

Both MS Edge and Google Chrome browsers do not support viewing portfolio PDF, so there is no setting/change available that can help you view portfolio PDF in Edge or Chrome browser.

I am not aware of any third-party control, I suggest you raise a new question about this on Adobe Support Community. As portfolio PDF supported by Acrobat reader they might give you some helpful information.
