Hi,

I cannot get files to be downloaded from Documents Module, no mather the user logged in (have the same problem with ADMIN and HOST users). I click on any of the files download links generated and all I get is an empty browser window (the new window checkbox is checked). It seems to be a problem with LinkClick feature as it doesn't seem to redirect users to the file do be downloaded.

I am currently using DNN 4.3.4

Logging shows an error that seems to be related to that:

Thanks for any help.

Hi, Anthony.

Thanks for the answer. I found out the problem to be related probably to my Windows - IE - Acrobat Reader installation. When I converted the PDF files to a ZIP file and put it in DNN, it worked perfectly asking me if I wanted to download or open the file. For some reason, when I try to open PDF files in my browser window, some files open, others freeze the IE window (not responding). Probably if I upgrade my Acrobat reader installation I can get rid of the problem. It is not a DNN problem.

I have the same problem. DNN can't link to and open PDF files, I just get a blank screen...

DNN has the issue in their bug tracker but it has a status of "withdrawn, won't fix" which is very discouraging.

Anyone found a fix for this major bug?
