Hello, I have encountered an issue when I try to download a PDF from a government website or if I receive a PDF from a .MIL email account.  The error is a white page that says the proper document should download soon or I need to update my Adobe Reader to the latest version.  I verified the version is up to date but the error remains even if i download it, Acrobat DC is the default PDF viewer and I have Windows 10, please help!

    Again: Don't open the file in a browser. Your browser can't display XFA forms.
