How to stop Adobe from opening automatically after printing to PDF

Hi, 

I had the same issue in Adobe Acrobat, which always opened the PDF documents I had just saved in Microsoft applications (e.g MS Word). I strongly dislike that this is the default option, as I consider I should have the choice to open my newly-exported PDFs or not. 

To disable this, I found the following: 

1. Open Adobe Acrobat 
2. Navigate to “Menu”, then “Preferences”
3. Click on “General”
4. At the end of the “Basic tools” section, deselect the option “Always open PDFs exported from MS Office.”
5. Click on “OK” to apply the new settings
6. Quit all open Adobe and MS Office applications
   1. (before doing that, I had an issue where PDFs exported with MS Word would export twice per export request, and the second would always fail)

The next time you use an MS Office app to export a document to PDF, Adobe Acrobat should not automatically open it.

what do you mean by "adobe", reader or acrobat?
