Return of Adobe PDF Crashes in Chrome.

    I’m not certain when it happened, but during some update or another, FancyBox, has stopped being able to load Adobe PDF files. I had a similar issue almost a year ago, and you suggested a fix, but applying that fix this time doesn’t seem to be working.

    Original thread

    The suggestion involved making some changes in easy-fancybox-settings.php and at the time they worked fine. At some point later on, it stopped.

    Once again, when I click a PDF File link, ONLY in Chrome, the Adobe plugin crashes. If I make the changes in the above post, I do get the fancybox pop-up, but it doesn’t load the actual PDF file.

    The site in question is here. I could not link it before, because it was still only on a development machine.

    If you do click on a PDF link, give it some time. It takes several minutes but eventually Chrome will alert you to the problem.

    How may I update this to make it work again?

  • Hi Eric, I tested your PDF link in Chrome but did not experience a crash or even any errors in the script console. But I am surprised by your statement “in Chrome, the Adobe plugin crashes” which implies your Chrome browser is using the PDF reader by Adobe instead of its internal one. This is not common. Did you deactivate the internal Chrome PDF Viewer plugin on chrome://plugins in the browser?

    Ok, that is very odd. The problem has existed for the past few months, but I’ve not had time to actually dig into the issue other than to check all other browsers.

    Now, it is working, and I don’t believe the plugin was updated in between the time I posted this, and today.

    As far as using the adobe extension, I’m not actually using it with Chrome, in fact I had only one active at the time, which is a screenshot extension.

    I’ll go ahead and mark this resolved. It’s strange, and may have been something in Chrome itself.

    Thanks for looking anyway.
