CM/ECF Frequently Asked Questions


Match word(s).



I recently upgraded my Adobe application. When I try to view PDF documents in CM/ECF, I see a blank screen. How can I fix this?

In Adobe (writer), make the following changes: Go to Edit, Preferences, Options. Uncheck Display PDF in Browser.' Uncheck Allow Fast Web View. It may also be helpful to upgrade your Adobe software to the lastest version.
