Your version is extremely old and not compatible with any current OS, so problems are to be expected.


This is 2022 and the problem with blank pages still exist in Acrobat Reader version 22.003.20282

Windows 10 (22H2) (OS Build 19045.2364) 

Internet stable connection to server with 50 Mbps.

No problem reading the pdf file using Chrome.

Hello tomb4987233

Sorry for the delay in response to your query and apologize for the inconvenience caused. As per the description above, you are getting a Blank PDF file when you open it, Is that correct?

Please try the following steps mentioned below and check if it brings any difference:

Navigate to Edit>Preferences>General> and uncheck these two options:

  • Show online storage when opening files.
  • Show online storage when saving file.

Close the and relaunch the Reader.

You may also refer to PDF opens as a blank page in browser with Acrobat or Reader 10.1.2 Link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html

If the issue persists, please share the following details:

  • Is it Acrobat or Reader installed?
  • Is it a Mac or Windows machine?
  • Is it happening with all the PDF files or with one PDF file?

Hope this helps, and let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Anand Sri.
