      I've been have a lot of problem with viewing PDFs lately. I have the Chrome PDF viewer enabled on the plugins page. Sometimes PDFs load, but other times they do not, and I just get a grey screen. To make things even more vexing, sometimes the file will load properly, but if I go back to it later, I get a grey screen. For instance, I was trying to read this file
      https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/declassified-documents/venona/dated/1940/assets/files/1mar_frag_prague.pdf
      and it originally loaded correctly using the plugin. However, when I returned later I just saw a grey screen and it never loaded.

          When I was writing this last night I tried to see if there was an update, but it said it was up to date. However, I just updated it to the newest version and I am still seeing this problem. The first PDF I looked at had similar behaviour, loading the first time I looked at it, but failing to render it when I refreshed the page.

            What OS? I couldn't reproduce here on Windows 10.

              I am also using Windows 10. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. When I look at the plugins in Opera I only see the Chrome PDF viewer, nothing else, so I don't know if something could be interfering with it.

                Do you use any extensions? If so, have you checked with them disabled?

                  I just did some testing, and it seems the Google Translator extension I was using causes problems with the PDF Viewer. When it was disabled PDFs could be refreshed over and over without an issue.
