How can I fix this for my users? up vote 28 down vote favorite 11 error opening There is a known issue with opening a PDF in Internet Explorer (v 6, 7, 8, 9) with Adobe Reader X (version 10.0.*). The browser window loads with an empty gray screen (and doesn't even have a Reader toolbar). It works perfectly fine with Firefox, Chrome, or with Adobe Reader 10.1.*. I have discovered several workarounds. For example, hitting "Refresh" will load the document properly. Upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.*, or downgrading to 9.*, fixes the issue too.

Background info: Although I don't think the following information is related to my issue, I'll include it for reference: This is an ASP.NET MVC application, and has jQuery available. The link to the PDF file has target=_blank so that it opens in a new window. The PDF file is being generated on-the-fly, and all the content headers are being set
