How to make Adobe Plugin use the windows print menu

I am having the following Problem:

I open a PDF in Firefox with the Adobe Reader Plugin. ( Everything is up to date ) Now, when i press "print", the firefox print menu shows up, which does not contain any options like printing multiple pages on 1 page, which is the functionality that i require. ( also multiple page ranges for page selection is not available in the firefox print menu )

Downloading the file and opening with Adobe on the computer ( and then pressing print ), however, gives me access to the complete print menu with all needed options.

Printing directly from the browser would be more comfortable, however. Is there a way that i can change the print menu?

Hi,

Apologies, but this is something that Adobe controls and therefore the end user cannot change that setting. You can, however, suggest the feature to Adobe at this page.

Sorry about that!

Please provide a screenshot of the Print dialog box that is appearing under that circumstance.

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.
