PDF file on the web not displaying, blank window only

Using Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10.  Acrobat Reader and Helper add-ons enabled.  Trying to open a pdf document on a web site.  Blank document only opens, often with small Adobe window showing a question mark.  Refresh or reload sometimes opens the document but not always. How do I get the pdf document to open reliably?  Thanks.

    Hi Sunburst105,

    I am sorry for the delay in response.

    You may try the steps suggested in the link below:

    Troubleshoot viewing PDF files on the web

    You may also try installing the latest version of Reader as Adobe Reader 9 is not compatible with Windows 10.

    Please refer to the following link:

    Thanks,
