When you received a fancy PDF (often from the Canadian Government for us &#8230; blurgh), if you simply click to open it, your &#8216;default&#8217; client for PDF might be your browser &#8230; and it can&#8217;t open the fancier attributes of the file. You&#8217;ll get this message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b84fa72b-be71-4a2f-82ed-51ee79a68908\">Or more verbose, this&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-fac3cd4c-3351-4f2f-9fea-5027f8af4ef6\"><em>The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher.

The &#8220;fix&#8221; is to open the PDF with a proper PDF client, such as Adobe Acrobat. But you&#8217;ll need to first &#8220;download&#8221; the file to your machine and then use that software to open it. Further, you can take a moment to set your default PDF application to be your client software, which may help in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fix for The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/552558454?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT This comes up a lot lately, particularly as more and more folks switch to browser based email clients (like Gmail and Outlook on the Web).
