   @annaleen Are they using Acrobat or is it just that these are PDFs and you have Acrobat installed that's taken over control of displaying PDF documents? In the latter case, uninstalling Acrobat should fix it.

     I don't think this is PirateShip's fault. They are using Adobe Acrobat to format their labels, and it would appear that Adobe got their AI bloatware to blorp up a dialog box in PirateShip's app.

     This is coconuts. I was using PirateShip, an app for buying and managing mailing labels. When I entered the window for printing a label, a dialog box popped up asking me if I wanted the document summarized by AI. The document, to be clear, was a mailing label that I was in the process of printing.
