Adobe Acrobat Pro DC file opens in print dialog screen

I am combining multiple pdf into one document. When it is combined, I open it and it opens into the print dialog instead of the document.  This does not happen all the time.  I cannot find what setting is causing some of the combined files to automatically go to the print dialog.

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2021 version on a Mac Book Pro

Help!

This is usually caused by a script that's embedded in the file, but if you're creating the file then it's odd you're not aware of that, unless one of the files you're merging has this script already in it and it gets copied to the merged file.

You should be able to find it under Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts. It should be a script with code that looks something like this:

 

this.print();

 

Or even just:

 

print();

 

You can remove that line or add "//" (without the quotes) to disable it.
