Nice empty dialog from Adobe Reader on Windows 7.
Today I saw a nice empty dialog from Adobe Reader on Windows 7... and I could not refrain from posting it, in the section "funny user interfaces".
Beside the fact there is no text at all, notice that is seems this should be a question (see the icon) but there is only an OK button. By the way, this was displayed as I tried opening a PDF in Google Chrome, and pressing the button did nothing (I mean, never got to see that PDF).
Haha, I've seen that too. I think it should read "please save the document to your hard disk first, you won't see anything if you try to open it in the browser".
They never read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511273.aspx
Haha. I read your post yesterday. Today I discovered an almost identical blank dialog in RS2007! If you drop a TTaskDialog on a form and in the form editor double-click it you get a dialog with the title bds.exe, a blue "information" icon, no text, and OK/Cancel buttons. I'm sure that it must mean something important! Cheers, Jarrod
I have regularly seen this dialog, but it seems to have been fixed by the latest Adobe Reader update.
I whole-heartedly agree with the person recommending FoxIt. I installed it years ago and have never looked back. Adobe is just too fat!
