If the Import Drawer does not display

If you have an issue where the Import drawer does not display when you have logged in, it is likely that you have the Adobe Acrobat Extension running. When the Adobe Acrobat Extension is running and Adobe Acrobat Extension has the PDF open, FYI cannot retrieve it with the FYI Browser Extension.

You need to disable the Adobe Acrobat Extension which will then allow the PDF to be filed with the FYI Browser Extension.
