I cannot open PDF files (the page goes blank). I see ways to change how the PDF is opened, but I don't even have a PDF option in my "Content Type" list.

PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Did you try to disable the Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 10.1.4 that shows in your system details list?

it is disabled, but i feel my issue still is that in my list under Preference - Applications. I have NOTHING about PDF so I can't tell it what plug in or program to use to open them.
