Hello, I can't see or download pdf files, when I click on a link a blank page appears, it seems that my adobe reader doesn't work properly... However when I tried to download it again, the installation fails everytime. I tried to download others pdf reader plugins and it is still not working.What sould I do ? Thanks

Ideato's solution did not work for me, but it gave me an idea...

Go to Tools > Add-ons

Then go to Plug-ins on the left, and check to see if Adobe Acrobat NPAPI is installed and enable. If so disable it. That did it for me!
