PDF files won't open

[Lemon Juice]

I tried what you are suggesting but it does not work.

The reason I asked you which specific stage of the procedure does not work is because such generic statements like above don't tell us much about what doesn't work. I can't reproduce the problem on my installation so I really have no idea what is exactly broken on your end.

I tried to copy and paste the flag that came up but it would not highlight. It was something about "Adobe Reader does not recognize this file or it was damaged (as in opening an attachment from a file) or improperly decoded."

Again, I have no idea what 'flag' you are talking about since saving an attachment doesn't involve copying & pasting any flags. I don't really know what you are doing and what is happening on your computer without more specific descriptions of the problem or screenshots.

I too am having this issue. A blank page comes up with a URL of "about:blank". Under preferences/helper applications/Portable Document Format I have tried both checking Always Ask, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Preview (app) - all the same outcome. Thanks for any help - tried to install a plugin previously suggested but wont work with my Seamonkey version 2.33.1.

Scroll down this page mozilla/pdf.js · GitHub and try the Development Version under Browser Extensions Firefox.

@murman, does your issue deal with a pdf attachment in an email?

Thanks WLS, I'll try that. Therube: no - I am referring to web browser pdf links - ie: click on "sample plan" at https://www.westernturfreplacement.com/ ... uidelines/ and I get a blank page with a url of: about:blank
Thanks!

WLS - That worked! Thanks so much - I just wonder why this functionality is not a staple of the browser, but I'm not complaining

It is built into Firefox, no extension necessary.
