I have a file and when I open it the print dialog comes up along with the file. I guess this is something the creator put into the document; however I cannot find a way to disable this. Do you know of a way to disable it so that the print dialog does not open every time I open the document.

Using Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 10.

Thank you, Rich

I had this same issue and found that in the preferences of the printer itself, "Print Preview" was enabled by a check box. Disabling this got rid of the Pop Up

This didn't work because there was nothing in the script box. Suggestions. Thanks,

This is usually done with a script that is embedded at the doc level. If you have Acrobat Pro you can probably remove it by going to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and editing the code. Look for something like this line and remove it:

this.print();

Then save the file and re-open it and the dialog should no longer appear.
