Please see this page http://montreal.chgk.info/Reports/2013-03-17.php the PDF is blanck (all another browsers works well), BUT absolutely similar HTML code is used on another page (the only file name is different) http://montreal.chgk.info/Reports/2012-05-19.php and over there we can see the content. The HTML code: 

    <object data="Reports_pics/2013/rep1_2013.pdf"  type="application/pdf" width="900" height="1200">
           alt : <a href="Reports_pics/2013/rep1_2013.pdf">REPORT</a>
    </object>

What is the glitch it can be? Thank you. Roman.

There is some kind of compatibility issue with the new PDF viewer in Firefox 19 -- you get the same result if you load the PDF by itself, but in that scenario, the blank one has an infobar that the PDF might not be displayed correctly and offers an easy path to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin instead.

As for the difference between the PDFs, I can't say for sure. However, the one created on the copier/scanner is very compact and might be using an internal format different than the larger one. (PDF doc info attached)

While you could blame Firefox's PDF Viewer for having a lot of missing features, re-creating the PDF certainly would be a faster solution than waiting for a fix. (There is quite a backlog of feature requests for the viewer...)
