Hi guys, welcome to Online ITMaster. Are you facing the PDF printing issue from the browser after the latest Windows 10 update? In this video, we will show you how to fix the PDF printing issue in the embedded Internet Explorer browser. We were using IE version 11 and PDF printing was working fine. After the Windows 10 2004 version update, it suddenly stopped working. This video shows a quick fix for the issue. Let's start by opening the PDF file in the Explorer and trying printing. Even though the printer is already selected, changing the selection to current page and pressing the print button doesn't result in any printing. To solve this, first, open DocHub reader, go to edit, preferences (or use the Ctrl key shortcut). In the preferences tab, select the security enhancer option, untick the enable protected mode and startup, select yes, scroll down to give okay, then exit the DocHub reader and try printing again. Now, the printing should be resolved.
