- If there is a delay in opening the PDF, give it extra time. Don't double-click or try to open other things in help or in EFT.
- Look at the Performance Monitor tab in the Task Manager (Search > Task Manager) to see if this issue is a memory issue. If so, try closing other windows or pause/stop services that are running that you don't currently need.
