Simply loading a PDF triggers a print dialog SOLVED

[claude vidal]

Stumped by this one! When loading the attached PDF in PDF-XChange Editor (6.0/322.7), it immediately opens the print dialog: how did they do that? And how do I get rid of this?

Tried saving as, same issue.

Hello claude vidal,

There is some document level JS that directly tries to print this file for you.
With JS disabled under Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript - you will get a message like this:

file_has_JS.png

For this particular file.

Regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks. I know it's only one click to get rid of the print request, but still annoying. Disabling JS is also one click when opening the document. It's not a perfect world

!! Wow, you can just remove the PDF-documents Javascript with PDF-XChange Editor !!

Via File > Save as Optimized : Just activate/check "Discard objects from the document" and then "Discard all Javascript actions".

Click OK and Save.

Thanks Willy!

That's an approach I didn't think of!

Cheers,
Stefan
