The site is http://geoscienceworld.org. You might need a subscription to try it for yourself - not sure. Here's a more specific example of a pdf I could not see with the plug-in: http://ammin.geoscienceworld.org/content/101/7/1704.full.pdf+html

To resolve the problem, I when into 'Settings > Plug-ins > Manage individual plug-ins...' and disabled Chrome pdf Viewer (disabled both plugins listed under "Chrome PDF Viewer"). Now it appears that my own Adobe plugin is doing the job instead, and I can load pdfs without problems. I have both Acrobat Pro 9 and Adobe Reader DC (free) installed on my system.

This is my Opera version info:
Version: 39.0.2256.48 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

Yes, I have enabled, but the problem still exists.

Does it happens with all PDFs?

Adobe reader plugin was not listed in plugins

So this is a NPAPI plugin and, therefore, will not work in Opera.

I have pdf chrome plugin was installed and I tried to disable it

Let it enabled as you will need it to view PDF files inside Opera.

Ya I have adobe reader installed

Is the plugin listed in opera://plugins? if so, try to disable it. Or disable Opera's one.

Adobe reader plugin was not listed in plugins, and I have pdf chrome plugin was installed and I tried to disable it and enable it but of no use. The error I am getting is "couldn't load plugin" is for only few pdf's. Couldn't figure the problem. In the plugins section of chrome pdf, there are to types. One is browser plugin and the other is PPAPI(internal pdf viewer). I tried to disable the PPAPI, then the pdf file says to enable, when I enable the plugin again, then the pdf file opens. But when I refreshed the pdf file, the problem arises again.
