PrintABC context menu

Post by Trackeruserdave »

I am using PDF Exchange Viewer 2.5 on Vista. While viewing files with explorer, there is a right click context menu option called PrintABC. This option seems to print the entire PDF file without asking for any options or permission to continue. Is there a way to remove this from the context menu? It seems I accidentally clicked it and my printer printed 50 pages before running out of paper.

Thank you
Dave

Hello Dave,

I am afraid that this is not possible. An easy solution to avoid such paper waste is to set e.g. our PDF XChange Lite virtual printer as your default. This way even if you accidentally "print" a large file - it will end up as another file on your HDD and not as lots of wasted paper.

Best,
Stefan

Hi, Dave.
While viewing files with explorer, there is a right click context menu option called PrintABC
In the next build the name "PrintABC" will be changed to normal "Print", sorry for this small mistake.
You can remove this item from context menu by running the *reg script from the attached file.

Vasyl, thank you for this script. As the topic starter I also prefer to have the printing option not in the context menu. And by using your file the entry was removed immediately. :D
