That was fixed several iterations ago. Then there was a time it
wouldn't paint a PDF in the window until you gave the window resizer a
nudge, worked around by telling Reader not to display in the browser. I
have still had one or two times when it printed a blank page for a PDF --
the last time was on Monday; I haven't had much chance to test it in the
new version updated yesterday. I see it now has "extensions" including
AdBlock so I'll install that at work today.
