Steps to reproduce:

Click on the print Icon underneath the 'Property Search' tab
PDF will open, IE will crash.

Browser: IE8

It seems to crash in other places as well when:

document.location = 'url'

is used to open a PDF over just using a link

ok after diving into it more.  it looks like it all centers around using
`window.location or document.location` to open a PDF.  If I use
window.open() or an <a> it works fine.  my gut is it works then because its
Chrome Frame is not in operation for those tasks.

I'm likely going to push a fix for this and if I do I'll try to setup a demo
site that breaks and post a URL for it back here.

Hi Marc,

  Thanks for the thorough report and investigation. I filed a bug at
http://crbug.com/95838 to track this.

  Which version of Chrome Frame are you using (from right-click -> About
Chrome Frame)?

Robert

I added information on the machine that had IE8 and was crashing to the bug
report.  I did update that original site to use window.open() for chrome
frame users so that workflow won't break anymore.  I can try to setup
another scenario if you'd like.

I think I have recently experienced similar issues with PDFs and
Chrome Frame.

Whenever I use a new window for downloading a streaming inline PDF
IE8+Chrome Frame's PDF Viewer hangs at the loading screen.
However the PDFs show inline no problem if I add the rel="noreferrer"
the the link (allowing IE8's Adobe Plugin to handle the PDF)

I have tried upgrading to the latest productionized version of
ChromeFrame
I downloaded the latest "DEV" version of the plugin 13.0.782.220
I downloaded the latest "BETA" version of the plugin 15.0.865.0

I tried upgrading Adobe to the latest version - just in case Google CF
is sharing components.  No luck.
