Hello,

 

Every time I right click a pdf in a folder and choose to print, the pdf opens up. I was wondering if their is a way to stop from this happening? I would like to be able to print without the pdf opening. I'm using the latest adobe acrobat as my default pdf application.

Hello William,

 

We verified on the latest available DC build and found the same working at our end.

Attached a screen-recording as well; please check the same at your end as well with latest available build.

I've never heard of being able to print a document without it opening up. Were you able to accomplish this before at some point?

 

Are you on Mac or windows?

I've never heard of this either. Can you print other types of files without opening them first? Word? Excel?

Yes, however now adobe opens every time you right click and print. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to not have adobe open. Attached is a screenshot showing that you can right-click print.
