Every time i open a pdf file, print dialogue box does immediately pop up. I could not find how to solve this. I even re-installed the app but it didn't change. I am unwilling to close it every single time. How can i solve this trouble?

This is usually caused by a script that's embedded in the file. You can't remove that script using the free Reader, though.

The only way around it is to disable JavaScript, but that will also interfere with a lot of other things (calculations, validations, formatting, buttons, etc.). To do it go to Edit (or the Reader app menu on a Mac) - Preferences - JavaScript and tick off "Enable Acrobat JavaScript".
