Looks like Microsoft Reader app does not register a print or printto verb. Probably >>because there isn't a method in the PrintManager class for automated printing. I suggest >>>you to disable the print feature when the registered program for the PDF file type does >>>>not register a pint or printto verb and instruct the user to change the default >>>>>program for PDF files.
