Document prints when opened

Post by Geep »

Someone recently sent me a PDF invoice, but when I open it, it immediately starts to print without being requested to do so. I can't see any setting which stops this, am I missing something?
Thanks, Geep

Hello Geep

Welcome to our forums,

This is quite unusual, there likely a JavaScrip in the Doc. causing this. Could you send us the file in question so that we may investigate further?

Thank you!

Whilst I could do so, it has financial info in it which is not mine to post in a public forum. Is there a private alternative?

Hi Geep,

Thanks for sending the document to us. There is indeed a JavaScript that forces the print when opening. If you save a local copy, then go to File --> Document Properties --> JavaScript you can then delete the script and this shouldn't be an issue.

We're looking at adding an option, similar to Adobe Reader, that will allow the user a choice to allow or not, when opening.

HTH!

I'm grateful for the help. All is now resolved, although I had to re-download the latest update.
