Attachment Issue in Chrome

Jan 26, 2012

I've got a course that includes a PDF attachment.  It works great in IE and Firefox, but not so much in Chrome (v. 16.0.912.77 m).  

In Chrome, when the attachment is clicked, it only opens a new 'about:blank' tab.  This has been tested on a Moodle-based LMS and on SCORM Cloud.  Each produced the exact same result.

Has anyone else ran into this before?  If so, any ideas how to fix it?  

Thanks so much!

Hey All,

Meant to post back to this last week and forgot.  The issue is Chrome.  To fix it, you need to have your users do the following:

1. Open the Chrome browser

2. Enter chrome://plugins

3. Find 'Chrome PDF Viewer'

4. Enable this plugin

5. Close the browser

6. Open the browser and launch the course

This fixed the issue on SCORM Cloud; however, the issue still persisted within Moodle.  So, I ended up posting the PDF to the server and made the attachment a link rather than a file.  

Hope that helps...
