Print on windows right-clic menu

Post by the_qd »

Hello,

I set PDF XChange viewer pro by default to open pdf files but I notice that, in the windows explorer, if I right click on a pdf file, I don't have the "print" option anymore
However, if I set Acrobat Reader by default, the "print" option appears.

I didn't have this problem before I reinstalled Windows 10 and the software.

Do you know how to make "print" reappear in the windows contextual menu?

Thank you very much

Hi the_qd,

did you install the PDF-XChange Viewer or PDF-XChange Editor? The Viewer is old and no longer enjoying development, I don't remember it ever having the Explorer context option to Print, but the PDF-XChange Editor definitely does.

Can you check Help then About and tell us if you are running the PDF-XChange Viewer or Editor?

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your answer.

It's the viewer pro and not the editor

On 2 others computers (windows 10 and windows 7), I have the same version and I have "print" on contextual menu.

Have you any idea?

HI again the_qd,

It sounds like the shell extensions is not associated with the Viewer on this pone PC. The first thing to try is to reinstall the Viewer.

Let me know how that goes?
Best regards

Hello again,

That's the good solution.

I uninstalled properly and reinstalled and it works
Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest
