Hi

In factory we have issue with some PDF files.

Some user printing very large files PDF and then on print server, spooler stuck.

So we need set default printing PDF files as Image.

How we can set this in Windows 10 registry ?

If we will have solution then we can add policy in factory.

Print as image is a powerful problem solver and prints normally get bigger in the queue and take longer to print and quality will not be the same.

I don‘t know if it is a registry setting or an init or similar file in the roaming or local user‘s area. I could imagine writing a start-up script setting the print as image mode and then exiting. You do not necessarily need to print.

This setting is sticky. When Acrobat first prints a file “as image” the GUI checkbox will remain ticked until it is unticked again or otherwise reset.
