Hi, Peter :-) 

 Chris mentioned the Adobe Acrobat plugin; 
this is used to view PDF files within the browser; 
has nothing to do with the Adobe Flash plugin, 
that your linked article speaks about...
 Adobe Acrobat plugin is installed in your system 
along the free Adobe Reader (now renamed 
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) or the pricy Adobe 
Acrobat Pro application - Google Chrome 
comes with its own internal "Chrome PDF Viewer", 
so the best practice is to disable one of the two 
via chrome://plugins/ in Google Chrome.
Just a clarification!
 As far as the built-in Adobe Pepper Flash 
plugin in Chrome is concerned, its days are 
numbered as the Google team plans to ditch it 
altogether in favour of HTML5!

Many cheers, 
V.
