Windows Annoyance (part 6)

In Windows 8, if you open up an PDF attachment in browser email. You will get the PDF file AT YOUR FACE by the Reader app. It fills up the entire screen. Not even obvious how to close it. Ok I figure out how to close it, but how to do you print it? Oh there is no print option? Come on!

To print, you will need to bring the charm bar out (Windows-C) or slide on that finger mouse pad, then click on "Devices" as your printer is one of your devices. Then you can print. (I had to look this up on the web)

I'm like come on, if the Reader app MUST occupy the full screen, at least give print as an option when you right-click on it. File->Print is totally intuitive, it's been like that for decades, where is the menu? Needing the charm bar here is totally unintuitive. Jumping out of the desktop into the full screen Reader app is already not so user friendly.
