In the following version of windows 10,

Edition	Windows 10 Pro

OS build	19042.1052
Experience	Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0


Eclipse's internal browser is not able to open PDF anymore.

I can open internet explorer and open pdf within internet explorer.

If I don't have the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed it asks to open it in an external browser, but after installing Acrobat Reader DC it tries to open PDF within the internal web browser but I see a black gray area.

For my case, I have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 13, continuous release version: 2021.005.20048

To open pdf file in Eclipse internal browser,

Go to window -> show view -> General -> internal web browser,

The internal web browser is opened in a new tab within Eclipse.

Copy any pdf file location on your pc and paste it into the address bar of the browser and press enter.

In my case, I am seeing an empty gray area. I did already the typical it think, restart, and re-install everything. Every time the result is the same.
