| Mozilla Firefox users having difficulty viewing signatures in PDF attachments/documents | 1/24/2017 | Users who access ConnectCarolina via Mozilla Firefox are having difficulty viewing signatures in PDF attachments/documents. | We recommend that you either switch to Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, or that you change your Firefox options to open PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. To change your settings in Firefox, go to Options in the right-hand corner, choose Applications, and change the Portable Document Format (PDF) settings to Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. You’ll need to restart your browser after making this change. One thing to be aware of is that if you change this setting, all PDF documents will be opened with the Adobe program you chose (even PDF documents not in ConnectCarolina). If you don’t want that to happen, instead of changing your browser settings, you can open PDF files that contain signatures one by one. To do this, click the "Open With" link when it appears on the document, and choose the option to open with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. |
