Printing prompt periodically pops up for one or of my PDFs when I am switching between PDFs

I don't know why the pop up prompt that lets me know that a documenting is preparing to print whenever I am working on PDFs and switching between them. It is not often but it happens enough to a distraction. Anyone one know why the preparing to print action would prompt and pop up randomly on a PDF that is a part of my open tabs?
  • Can you provide a Report ID and a screenshot of that happenng? Does it happen with all plugins disabled? On any PDF? I don't think anyone else has reported this.




  • this prompt pops up more often than I like... and I am not even activating the print option, it just pops up as you see in the screenshot. here is the report ID 1704796369
  • happening to me as well. In my case it was due to javascript was enabled in that document which popped up printing dialog when I open the document. This happend not only in zotero. But in adobe as well.

    As pointed out in this forum, I opend the PDF in notepad and I deleted the line that goes like

    /JS (this.print\({bUI:true,bSilent:false,bShrinkToFit:true}\);)

    saved the file and checked. I dont get the pop up again.

    If you are trying this as well, make sure you make a copy of the file
