Windows 10 and printing pdf files

[EdWhittaker]

This is driving me mad! Am I missing something or can you no longer right click to print pdf files? With previous Windows versions you could just right-click the page, choose Print and there you go. Since upgrading to W10, I now have to save the file, then navigate to file location then print form there. Any suggestion guys?

Do you mean an online pdf?

[EdWhittaker]

Yes, online pdfs. With previous versions of Windows you could just right-click to print. With W10, if you right-click the 'Print' option is still there but if you click it you are prompted to save rather than have it print.

I've had to put a 'Temp PDF' folder on my desktop to save them to. In 90% of cases I don't want or need to save the file, just print it.

 

I'm assuming there must be a pressing reason for this change rather than some guy at Microsoft saying 'Hey, I've got a great idea ...' ? :-/

I opened a test one n Firefox, Edge and IE. All 3 had an on screen "print" button that worked as expected. Top right apart from IE (bottom centre).

Ah! I'm using Chrome. I'll check Edge and Firefox.

 

Cheers!

P.S. After trying MS's built in reader, I decided that Adobe Reader was better and so installed it. May make a difference!
