The PDF behavior started when we upgraded from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4.  Similiar problems seem to be manifested in the TEXT/HTML and Repository modules.

Some developers are installing a patch from freednnstuff.com that supposedly patches the ftb editor.  Others are patching the HTML provider code themselves and recompiling.

Are you working with the other core module developers that are affected?  I am sorely tempted to make the changes to the HTML provider core and recompile, but I'm not sure if that is the problem that is affecting all modules.  Or is it something in the new security?

Can you give us some guidance as what to do in the meantime?  Also I cannot find any information if all if this is fixed in the 3.3.5 replease that went to Platinums.

Thanks for any soothing words on the subject .

Hi Alex,

Well, we loaded 3.3.5 and everything works fine now.  Although if we use the text module and select 'open in new window', it opens a single window and that becomes the PDF window with PDF reader in the browser.  If we use the links moudle and select 'open in new window', it opens a new window and then another window opens with just the Reader application (not in IE).  If we close Reader, there still is the blank window besides the original web site page with the links module.

I assume this is not the expected behavior?  Shouldn't it work like the TEXT/HTML link function?

Thanks for the semi-encouraging words on the status of this fix.  It was a pleasant suprise that they released it so soon after it went to Platinums.
