Whenever I open a PDF in IE and press Print, the IE print window comes up instead of the PDF's print window.
 
I need the PDF print window to show up when I press Print.
 
Can this be fixed? If so, how?
 
I don't have this problem when using the 5.0 and 6.0 versions.

My Product Information:
Reader 7.0.0, Windows

The easiest method is to have the PDF open in Acrobat/Reader rather than through the browser plugin.

In Acrobat/Reader - Edit | Prefereces --> General --> Internet.Uncheck "Display PDF in browswer".

You may need to shutdown and relaunch your browser to this to take effect.

Solution is good from Acrobat/Reader v5-8.

That really didn't solve the problem. It just opened the file in Acrobat and the IE Print screen still came up.

Is there a way to program in Javascript a command to open a secondary form direcly on the ACROBAT/READER software from the main form open in the IE browser's plugin?
