I had no problem a week ago opening a document and clicking on print, it would open and I could print.  Now it is requiring it to download and save before I can print.  I am not sure what is happening or why.  I am using Google Chrome Windows 10.  I am no expert on the computer, so please be gentle with me.  Thank you.

    I had this same issue.  Downloads were quickly using up hard drive.  It was maddening.  

    Try this:

    Go to: Settings then Privacy & Security then PDF Documents.

    Change this setting from "Download to PDF's"     to      "Open PDF's in Chrome"  

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Georhaim390278634dnj,

     

    Please use the following steps to find the required settings:

    - Open the Chrome settings.

    - Go to Privacy & Security.

    - Click on Site Settings and then scroll down to Additional Content Settings.

    -Click on Additional Content Settings and Go to PDF documents.

    Check if that works.

     

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

      You can set the browser to display the file within it, but then you won't be using Reader.

      This setting is available under Settings - Site Settings - Content - PDF Documents.

      When I open a PDF in a website through Chrome on Windows and choose to print, the default Desitination is to print to PDF. Are . If I choose to Print a PDF from the browser. There is an option to See more options and choose a printer. Do you get that option?

      A lot of PDFs are designed to work better in Acrobat than in a browser. So printing may be more accurate in Acrabat than from a browser.

      You say the printing worked OK a week ago. Did you try the same online PDF as before or a new one? have you updated Acrobat or Chrome since then?

        Thank you for replying, as I mentioned I am not the best on the computer, but am able to understand some of this.

         

        I open the project and click on Get PDF to Print.

         

        Click on Get PDF to Print another window opens.  I click on Open PDF.  Previously it would just open the page and I can print from there.

         

        Now, it opens the download folder, and I have to download it, then before I can print I have to open the folder and print from there.

         

        I have attached a screenshot of the print box.   I have used this same item to be printed for over 2 years and have not changed anything.  All of my programs are up-to-date.

        As try67 has said, your browser may be set to download the file rather than opening it directly.

        Does this happen with all web pages that link to PDF? Sometimes a webpage may link to a PDF and force it to eb downloaded rather than opening it.

        Here is what I see when opening a PDF in Chrome.
        First, im the top right corner, I see the printer icon. To the left of it is the download icon to save the PDF to my hard drive.


        Next, when I click the printer option, I get the following.

         

        This is what I was mentioning in my earlier post. Under Destination, the default shows Adobe PDF. I can select See more... to get options to send to a printer.
