Hi,

In past versions of foxit it was possible to rightclick a pdf document, and select the print command. I'm using version 1.3b1111, and here is the functionality disabled. Even if I add the print command in the context menu manually via the registry, my changes are put back to default. Why is this?

Is there a possiblity to add the print command in de context in the next version

Regards,
Marck

Hmmm...you're right. I haven't verified that it was available with prior versions, but it sure seems like the command should be available in the right click menu.

I downloaded the newest version. I tried a few things:

the context menu is not enabled with version 1.3 b1130

Foxit reader has the following command line option:

/n index.

this means that a pdf is opened at the specified page, where index the page number is.
I added the print command in de context menu:
The command "behind" the print command is (for example)
"C:\PROGRA~1\FOXITS~1\FOXITR~1\FOXITR~1.EXE" "%1" /n 13

Offcourse the document is not printed, but opened at page 13.
But it does say, that if Foxit reader would support the /p command line option, then this problem is solved.

Or is this to simple :)

Our formal version did support this feature to right click to print PDFs. Yet, for some reasons, we just omit this feature for current versions.
Any way, I have put it as a feature request and forwarded it to our design team to restore the print option back.
