Adobe Stays open after quick print

Since there is no easy solution an messing around with the registry is not an option as too many computers to deal with.

We Simply uninstalled the new version of Adobe Reader DC and reinstalled an older version and turned off auto-updates, I know its not ideal, but until Adobe fixes the issues its the easiest solution and quickest when you have hundreds of computers to deal with via GPO.

It did not matter what version of windows you were using or what version of office the print list kept coming up every time you when to print the second time.

So I will wait until the next release of Adobe DC and see if they have fixed or not.

For those that are willing to edit the registry as a solution I found this on an older thread and it has worked for me. Adobe stays open on the taskbar but it doesn't pop-up after printing. I'm using Outlook365 on Windows 7 Pro. Outlook version 16.0  When you change the DWORD value the selection should be hexidecimal. You do have to mess around with the value a little bit to get it to work for all attachments. My system got happy with 10,000 but I've seen at least 2 others that said 15,000.

From microsoft support:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then select the following registry subkey: *
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, click Key, type Attachments, and then press ENTER.
4. Locate and then select the following registry subkey:*
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\Attachments
5. On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD(32-bit) Value, type FileTrackIdle, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click FileTrackIdle, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 5000, and then click OK.**
   Note If the issue persists, increase the value data by 1000 until you can successfully print all the PDF files.
8. Exit Registry Editor.

* When changing the registry key you will have to change the 12.0 to your version of outlook,

You can find this by going to file->help->about Outlook.

I have the same problem but it happen just today after the latest update from the 3rd of October 2018 of adobe reader DC Version 2019.008.20071

How do I stop the recent list to come up after quick printing attachments from outlook?

I print the first one, but then I go to print the second attachment regardless if in the same email or a different one, at the recent list comes up and have to close it each time, very annoying.

This will probably get modded but... I installed Foxit Reader for the user and set it as the default and it works great.   Program stays running in taskbar but it never pops up when doing a print either from Explorer or Outlook.

I'd love if someone from Adobe took a look at this too.  I have no clue why it just started happening to a user (Windows 7) on both the latest Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat 11.0.20.  Quick Print in Outlook or right-click print in Explorer will leave the Adobe window minimized and open, but the next quick print will open another Adobe window that takes focus away from the user and interrupts their workflow.  The second process does quit, but it's the same with the next document, unless we manually quit it.

Good Morning,

Iam still waiting on a response so say this has been looked at. It was requested in a private message that I provide you with some more details which I have done. However I still haven't had a reply. Please can somebody give me a update on this!!!

this question was raised over 3 months ago.

Any news on this since I provided you with the details you requested.

Hi Jasons30368478,

Could you please confirm what is the version of the Adobe Reader that he has installed on computer? or has he tried installing the latest update of the application?

If not, then-

Please open Acrobat or Reader DC and visit Help > Check for updates to make sure you are on the latest patch.

And if he already has the latest patch installed, then please try the steps mentioned below (as workaround)

• Right click on the task bar and open Task manager
• Under processes> select all the Adobe (Reader) processes and End task

Sometimes application get stuck and runs at the background, even if you close it or reboot the computer.

• Try to print the document again and check if Reader get stuck again.

Let us know if that helps.

Regards,

Akanchha
