Help printing PDF file pls

Hi,

Have been emailed flight documents as a PDF attachment, and i can view them ok, but there is no "printer" icon to print them.

If i do CTRL+P it will print off first page but with some of it missing, as it also shows my list of yahoo mail folders on side.

Its strange, because i get my monthly pay invoice as a PDF file also, and have no problems printing that perfectly.

I dont have Adobe acrobat or similar installed, as i had to have new HD fitted recently and havnt replaced everything yet.

I am running Windows 7, and mainly use Firefox browser.

Apologies if these are stupid questions !

Thanks

    How do you view the .pdf? Do you double click on it to open the attachment? If so, that should give you the adobe bar for page up/down, magnify, print, save etc.

    Yep, double-click attachment.

    Icons available are Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Left Arrow and Right Arrow to view next or previous attachment ( only one attachment attached to email )

    don't open the attachment - just right click on the file and select print.

    Does that work?

    either you need to update adobe or is the document copyrighted? Which is why the print option is disabled.

    You could use a pdf to doc converter which are online and free and then print the word doc.

    Hi,

    Cheers for further feedback.

    I dont know whether it is copyrighted or not - its from Travelbag, i have a non-premium rate tel no for them so might give them a call and see if there are any known issues.

    Have to go out now, so will try to sort this over weekend and look into your other suggestion as well.

    Thanks again
