Open PDF through browser or file explorer printer opened version 370 (upgraded from 368) [glitch] ?

Post by MedBooster »

Previously in version 368 when you would double click (or select and press Enter) for files, either in the file explorer in Windows 10, or in a browser like Firefox – the PDF document(s) would just be opened in PDF-xce

well now, instead of opening all PDFs in the same Window, it opens all the PDFs in separate windows, and the "print" window as well (for every single PDF-document), so I think this is a bug in version 370,
Is this maybe something you can change in the settings?

edit:
it seems to not happen with every document, but rather ones that are downloaded from my browser... weird...

Hello MedBooster,

Please disable these options and see if that helps:

hmm... I had these disabled, except the ones for bookmark panel layouts in the second screenshot.

Have you given it a shot? If you download a PDF from a browser

I haven't been able to reproduce it with other PDFs though
(Are you supposed to be able to enter the print menu directly when opening a PDF?
Can the way a PDF is saved on one computer with the print panel open, make the print panel open right away on a new computer as well?

This is strange....

Hello MedBooster,

I've just tried and am unable to reproduce this here on my end with files I've downloaded (that each of them opens in a new window).

The "print menu" opening with a file is usually a JS that tries to directly print that file for you. It is possible - and there are such files that would try to do so.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Alright, so it is actually possible that a file could have javascript code within it to make it open the print window automatically???
Where would you disable these automatic javascript functions in the PDF-xce settings? (if possible)

Hello MedBooster,

Please note that this is global and will turn JS off for all of your files:
