Can't open a Linked PDF file, if Adblock AddOn is Active

Post by AKSO »

Hi there

Since Windows 10 we had a Problem with AdBlock Plus and a specific Extranet-Website (e.g.: http://xyz.so.ch/) with Links to PDF-Files. Even if i put the Website to the Exclusions, it still not work. The IE-Statusbar Shows me, that the ADP is inactive on this Website, with the Grey Icon. But the Linked PDF cant open. The Website opens the PDF in an new Tab with the Adobe-Reader Plugin and the Statusbar Shows, that ABP is active with a red Icon, but the URL of the new Tab is the same (e.g.: http://xyz.so.ch/xy.pdf). If i disable the Reader-Plugin, it works too, but this is no Resolution for us, because we need this Plugin for another program.
The only workarround atm is to disable the ABP-AddOn. :(

We use the EasyList Germany with the following Exclusion-definitions:
[Subscription filters]
@@||akso.ch^$document
@@||akso.local^$document
@@||osweb.so.ch^$document
@@||so.ch^$document


SystemInfos:
Windows 10 LTSB
IE 11.0.10240
tried AdBlock Plus 1.5 and 1.6

On Windows 7 with ABP 1.5 it worked without problems. And there was the Adobe-Reader Plugin activated too.

Any Ideas, whats the problem with the ABP? Or how to resolve?


PS: sorry for my English, it is not my Main-Language...

- You should provide a test account to reproduce exactly your issue.
- Better to report your issue at bug tracker site (but, again: provide a test account with some pdf doc / link for testing) and ==> https://issues.adblockplus.org

Hi mapx. Thanks for your fast answer.

This platform does not had any testaccounts. Unfortunately, this is not possible to provide access data. These are very sensitive personal data with a high Level of Data security.

I will take some screenshots and post these at bug tracker site. Maybe that helps.

Did you test using firefox + ABP ?
If you can reproduce the issue with FF + ABP, you could submit an issue report and then post the report link here or on bugf tracker.
