PDF files trying to print upon opening

[rfast10430]

Hi...

I recently encountered some strange behavior with some PDF files I have downloaded.

I have them saved on my computer and when I open them, the print screen immediately appears, as if I had chosen to print the file.

Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to get it to stop?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi rfast10430,

Thanks for the post - I suspect that there is some kind of JavaScript, set to run when the doc. is opened. Could you please send a sample?

Cheers,

Thanks, I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at it.

The file I have has some information which I'm not comfortable posting publicly. Is there a way I can email it/send it to you privately?

Hi rfast10430,

Thanks for sending the file - as per my email:


It seems my hunch was right here under File --> Document Properties --> JavaScript, you should see the DoPrint() action.

To stop this from happening, you can either select and delete the JavaScript, or go to Edit --> Preferences --> JavaScripts and disable JavaScript actions.

HTH!
