PDF printing issues. Reader opening when giving print through a different program.

Report · Mar 10, 2019

Hi so i have a system that generates PDF files and is suppose to print there with out any intervention either but all the times this happens the acrobat reader ends up opening. Is there anyway I can stop the reader from opening every time a PDF is to be printed.

Hi Adityaum,

We apologize for the delay in response to your query. Hoping that you might have got the resolution to this problem.

Is it something like you were trying not to open a PDF through Adobe Acrobat Reader while printing, but it was coming up automatically every-time?

If you are still looking for the answer, then you may check the following steps-

1- There is a good possibility that Adobe Reader is your default PDF viewer which is opening the PDF while printing or after generating it. So you can simply remove it from default app.

Here are the detailed steps: How to remove Acrobat Reader set as default application open JPEG file?

2- Or to make it more simple, you can uninstall Reader (if you don't use it to open your pdf through it). Use cleaner tool to remove it: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Hope this would work.

Thanks,

Akanchha
