Why is the PDF document blank when I attempt to open it from the Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF)?

Answer: 

 
Some users have encountered blank documents, which may be related to the PDF reader.
 
1. Update the Adobe Reader to the lastest version at http://get.adobe.com/reader/
 
2. Turn off headers for documents in CM/ECF:

  •     Select the Utilities menu in CM/ECF
  •     Select Maintain your ECF account
  •     De-select the box for Add Headers to PDF Documents
  •     Select Submit

3. Rather than using the plugin that opens the PDF document in the browser, follow these steps to open the PDF document in a new window:

  •  Open Adobe Acrobat
  •  Select Edit ⇒ Preferences
  •  Select Internet
  •  De-select the box for Display PDF in browser
  •  Select OK
