Adobe prompts to save when printing PDFs

motc7 · Feb 2, 2012

I have been searching around this and other forums for the answer to this question. I have a user that everytime he prints a PDF it prompts to save to his HD instead of just printing.

Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Hi Motc

Just to get some info I take it this is Acrobat? what version though? just asking as a few apps of Adobe allow PDF open and printing.

Weird issue and I would just check when they are using Print that in the Print Prefs that Print to File has not be checked.

Sounds like he is using a "print to pdf" type program.
