The only things I can think of is that it's maybe not enabled:
chrome://plugins/
If for some reason it's greyed out, click on "Enable".


If however you are talking about Chromium (which doesn't have Chrome's
builtin PDF viewer) and have both installed, you can just symlink the
library to Chromium's directory:
$ sudo ln -s /opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/

...or copy it if you wish to uninstall Chrome afterwards:
$ sudo cp /opt/google/chrome/libpdf.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/

If it's really about Chrome, make sure libpdf.so is really at this
location.
