Adobe reader version 4.2.11-58649b92ef initial screen does not contain the print function

Question

I was very surprised when visiting a medical facility in Croatia, the submission clerk asked me for some test results, which I did not have in printed format. I asked if I could mail them, so from my phone, I sent the PDF file to his email. He opened the file with Acrobat Reader, and then complained he could not print it!? At home, I checked his claim: On the Adobe Reader screen, there is a box of Adobe Acrobat functions on one side, and on the other, adding comments. There were some zoom in/out keys and next page keys but NO PRINT function. There was a three dots function that gave access to the print function!

We are talking about using Acrobat Reader to open, zoom in/out , next page, print and close. These functions were always accessible on every version of Acrobat Reader till now. I beg for an explanation.

I have screenshots I can include.

Hi @dubravko_8196,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in about viewing documents in Acrobat.

The screenshot you shared above is from the Acrobat Web Extension. The design for it has been the same for quite a while now.

What you are referring to is the Acrobat Reader desktop application. If you open the file in the Acrobat Reader application, you would see a similar interface to what you referred to above in the description.

Hope this clarifies your question.

Regards,
Souvik.
