Default number of copies to be printed?

Post by prr »

I am having a maddening problem with PDFXChange. Whenever I print multiple copies of a pdf, that number stays the default--even when I want to print up a second document. For example, I print 40 copies of Chart A. I then open up Chart B, and hit the printer icon (so that I can print up one copy of Chart B), and I get my laser printer printing 40 copies. This wastes an awful lot of paper, and I have to walk over to the printer and turn it off. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Hello prr,

We have created a ticket for your problem (#497) and our developers told me that this is scheduled for fixing in the upcoming build.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best,
Stefan

I have 2.0.57 (the newest release), and I still have this problem.

Don't recall what I said earlier, but I just realized tonight that this also happens with MS Word (Office 2010), so perhaps this is a system-wide issue? Not sure. I can see why a computer would remember that my previous print job had 20 or 45 copies, or whatever, but I'd love to be able to turn off this memory. :mrgreen:

Hello prr,

Not much movement on the ticket so I will try to get an update, but yes for the moment - please be careful to check the printing settings as they are remembered during sessions, as you discovered yourself - not just in our application.

Best,
Stefan
