  PRINTING  ISSUES IN REALIST TAX
  Members report issues printing the PDFs from Realist, here is some information that may be helpful. A recent update to the Adobe Reader Plug-In (10.1.2) for Internet Explorer has introduced an issue where Realist PDF reports appear with no data. This impacts all Adobe customers using Internet Explorer and is not isolated to Realist. We are actively working with Adobe on a resolution but at this time Adobe has not provided a target date.

In the meantime there are two options to consider:
1. Users can uncheck "Display PDF in browser" in Adobe Reader preferences, which will open the PDF report outside of the IE Browser window. Making this change will enable users to access Realist reports from within the Adobe Reader window.
2. User may elect to downgrade Adobe Reader to the previous version (10.1.1 or lower)

This issue only effects Internet Explorer browsers. As soon as a solution is provided by Adobe we will immediately verify the fix and notify you directly.
   
  REPORTED BLACK SCREEN ISSUE IN REALIST TAX
  Realist has determined that, in some instances, users will see a black screen (or something similar). In those cases, following the uninstall/install Flash instructions will usually resolve the situation.
