Right Click Print.

I am a brand new Imac user. When I am in MS word/excel or any OpenOffice doc. I want to print by simply right clicking and hit print. Just like i used to do on my old dreaded Vista machine. Also When I have a list of 2 or more documents i want printed. I have to open each one and select print. Again, on the vista machine I could highlight all the documents, right click, and select print.
Does anyone know how I can get that feature to work, if at all.
Yes I do have right click enabled.

If you are in the MS Word or Excel document (or Open Office), it does not make sense to right-click on something in the document window to print. There must be a Print button on the toolbar, so you can regular click on that. Or you can type Command-P (in most applications) to print the current document.
If you want to print multiple document consecutively without opening the applications, open a Finder window. Select the multiple documents. There are many ways to select multiple documents. If you need help with doing so, please post back. Once the documents you want to print are selected, go to the menu bar under File and select Print. All the selected documents will print without the need to open each application.

  • Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

    Here is some background to my question
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
    which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
    I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
    app.hideToolbarButton("Print"); 
    app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
    app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
    These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
    As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
    So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
    What I'm after is a way to either
    (i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
    or
    (ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
    Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM  / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
    Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
    Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
    Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
    Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
    Cheers

    Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
    I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
    The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
    I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
    In an ideal world there would be an  available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
    I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
    The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
    Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
    or
    Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
    or
    Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
    Thanks for you help
    Cheers

  • Why do my margins get cut off when I right click print, but not when I open my document and print?

    When I right click print (without opening the document) my margins get cut off, but if I actally open my pdf document and click print, it will print just fine.  This only happens when the document has print that is close to the edge.
    I am using Adobe 10.1.2 with Windows 7.
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help

    As for your comment on this being my first Mac, and the program issue, you misunderstood. Yes the eMac is in fact my first, personally owned, Mac computer other than the original Apple II series floppy fed PC, in which me and my father owned. The only other Apple/Macintosh computer I had experience on was my father's 13" MacBook Pro, and 20" iMac (both ran OSX Tiger 10.4.11, just as the one I have know runs). The iMac was upgraded to Snow Leopard due to our need for better picture/video/audio editing software such as that of Adobe, and the Macbook Pro was sold because of a business that was started being siphoned out of money. I purchased the eMac from a small business based off of eBay. It had the majority of OSX Tiger software, only missing minor programs like Photobooth. Other than that, it had no wireless software like BlueTooth, Wi-Fi capabilities, wireless sync, ect... But alas, when you buy a Apple/Mac computer, you must take a few cutbacks when purchasing it (even refurb.) for around $120.00 including taxing, shipping, handling, ect... I purchased nearly all of my software from co-workers and friends who had an extra key, or I would receive the software disc from them, and buy a key. The only "illegal" thing I had on the computer was music I had downloaded from LimeWire. I have never, and will never, trust any software coming from a torrent download site.

  • What happened to right click print - must have option????

    running win 8.1 latest firefox
    IN EXPLORER i can right click and print any image.
    firefox has no print option on right click, even if i view and image there is no print capability not even a right click print. no menu option are avalable. I can print an entire page but not an image on a page like in explorer.
    ONLY way i can print and image in firefox is to save it then open saved file then print.
    if this is not something easily fixed then firefox gets deleted........ please help.

    Been there, been that frustrated over Firefox not having a Contextual Menu Print item - been shaking my head over that since August of 2002 when I switched from IE6 to Phoenix 0.3 ''(the early development version of what became known as Firefox)''.
    Fortunately Firefox is so extensible that many extension developers early on "fixed" that glaring deficiency or oversight. Extensions are your friend in Firefox! You don't like a feature, change it; something is "missing", add it!
    As cor-el mentioned, the Universal Print extension adds the Right-click menu item and there are other extensions that add that menu item, too.
    Here's two more that add that feature:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/
    The last one is phenomenal! Allows you to edit a page in Print Preview to get rid of advertisements, unnecessary navigation sidebars, and lessen the number of sheets of paper needed to print longer articles - basically make your own "printer ready" pages when the website doesn't have that feature.

  • Reader X - Right Click & Print not keeping defaulted "Fit" option.

    Using Adobe Reader X (version 10.1.2) I have a number of PDF files to print and would simply like to right-click and print. However, the pages are cut off on the sides. If I open each document individually and click print (with a default Size Options = Fit), the documents print ok. How can I change the "right-click & print" option to default with Size Options = Fit?

    I was having the same problem with a pdf printing system we've developed.
    We had been using the /n (new window) /t (print) parameters when calling Reader, but I thought it would be a nice change to simply emulate the right-click print with code to make it a little friendlier for upgrades.  While that mostly worked, I ran into a couple of issues.
    When the right-click print is done, it appears Reader uses the Reader defaults and doesn't look at your particular settings.  If, however, Reader is already open it does use your settings.  Occasionally, we received a corrupted or password protected file that we couldn't automatically process.  To solve this issue, I decided to print the pdfs serially and kill acrord32.exe after each print job.  Since I was killing after each print job, it never used my settings but alwasy the default Reader settings.
    In my case, I switched the code back to use the /n /t parameters and it is working fine again.
    So, in your case, if you leave Adobe Reader running, it might resolve your issue.
    The right-click print does /p /h behind the scenes.  Perhaps another option is to change the registry to use /n /t instead of /p /h.

  • When is the right click print function going to work with Firefox 4

    Right click print function quit working when I updated to Firefox 4

    Firefox has never had a right-click Print menu item by default. If you had that with an earlier version of Firefox, it was added by an extension that you installed and isn't 4.0 compatible right now.
    I have been using this extension for that feature, for many years. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/ - It hasn't been updated for Firefox 4.0 versions yet, so I am using this one temporarily to get a Print Preview option in the Contextual Menus. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ - The Print function is in the Print Preview window. That extension also allows you to edit what is going to be printed, so you can get rid of advertisements, empty multimedia boxes (Firefox won't print Flash or WMP content), and other stuff you don't want on the printed page, to save ink and paper.
    That may not be suitable to you as a replacement extension for what you had been using before, but I never print anything from Firefox before using Print Preview. I am tired of wasting ink and paper with Firefox not being able to correctly print web pages that every other web browser can print correctly. If the Print Preview doesn't look correct, I open that page in IE8, Opera11, or Safari 5.0.1 - all of which will print it correctly 99.9% of the time.

  • Right Click Printing in Adobe Reader X

    Using Windows XP and Adobe Reader X I am having some printing issues. For example, I open My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print, then I open my next file within the same folder and print that one the same way.  With the new Adobe Reader X, I right click it prints the first document however it appears as though Reader stays open then when I go to do the second document it doesn't allow the program to print until I close Reader (which was opened by the first document I printed) is closed.  Once closed it opens Reader again and then leave it open until I phyiscally close it.  In prior versions when I would print it would close reader - I have tested the issue on another users machine and it works fine however on my machine it does not.
    Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without having to physically open and close Reader X to print?

    I anwswered my own question because it appears as this thing isn't monitored or people don't want to help you out in a timely fashion.
    Click Edit>Preferences and remove the check from the Enable Protected Mode at Startup in the General Tab.  This should fix the issue

  • Right click print option not now available for pdfs

    I have just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and am running Acrobat 9 Pro.  On a daily basis I get a batch of pdf files that I need to print.  In XP I would have right clicked and chosen Print, however this option is not available now I am on Windows 7.  It doesn't matter how many files I choose, even just picking one pdf the print option is not available.
    Any ideas?  Thanks very much

    You are can  use batch processing to print a folder worth of files if you like.

  • Right-click PRINT option not available in explorer WIN7

    On 1 Win7 machine, in explorer, right-click has Print available, when selecting a PDF. On another machine, it does not.
    What provides that command in the context menu? How to add it?
    Both 64-bit.
    I have Reader X 10.1.0 installed.
    There is also another difference. On status bar on pc with working printing option I see Adobe Acrobat document, On another machine: PDF-file. Different icons.

    I forgot to write that I do not have map C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements with ContextMenu64.dll, only C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0 on both pc's.

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • Right Click PDF print the file prints & closes Adobe stays open

    This issue has been brought up in the past however there does not appear to be an adequate solution.
    It appears it was introduced as far back as version 8, I am basing from what I read in posting.
    When you right click a PDF to print Adobe opens the file prints the file closes however the Adobe Reader window stays open.

    The right click print is not the only instance of this behavior.
    When other programs are useed to call Adobe Reader to produce & print the PDF the Adobe Reader remains open.
    It seems like a small thing but it is a large annoyance and I can't think of why it would be desired by anyone.
    Adobe, please fix this.

    If you have a postscript printer or rip which has the ability to create hot folders to link to the printer queues you could simply drag-n-drop and PDL (page description language) file like PDF, PS, EPS to that hot folder to initiate printing. Again, very dependent on your printer/rip device.

  • My pull down menu above the green "back" button disappeared recenly after I intalled an update. How to I get it back so I can print since right clicking does not give me a print option?

    I used to have a tool bar at the top of the screen that had file, print, help, etc. After I recently installed something ( I can't remember what), the tool bar no longer appears. Help I need it back! I need to print screens and right clicking does not allow for a print option and my print screen button on my computer does not get me anywhere either. Please describe any help in simple terms - I'm just an average computer user! Thanks.

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

    Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
    would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.
