Acrobat 9.0 Cant print duplex

hi,
we cant print selfmade adobe-files in duplex modus. it is possible with 8.0 and 7.0 version but now we got the new version 9.0 and its now not possible. when we are get manuals or other pdf-files the duplex modus works correct but if we print an excel-sheet to pdf-printer and put some pages to the new pdf-file we cant print this in duplex modus. is there are workaround to fix this problem?

yes i mean the duplex function listed in the printer driver not at adobe PDF printer. We cant print our adobe PDF-Files in duplex Mode. Before we installed 9.0 it works fine. I describe what we want to do.
1. Print an Excel-Sheet with adobe PDF-printer --> then we get an PDF-File.
2. Print another Excel-Sheet with adobe PDF-printer --> then we get an PDF-File again.
3. Both PDF-Files have 1 pages.
4. Now i copy the page from PDF-File2 to PDF-File1 --> then PDF-File1 has 2 pages.
5. Now i print this PDF-File with our Network printer with duplex modus --> But it dont work.
If we download any PDF-File and print this with our network printer it works fine in duplex mode.
We did the same with version 8.0 and it works fine. Now in Version 9 we cant print at duplex mode (Not the PDF-Printer). So it was a problem with version 9.0.

Cannot print duplex with adobe acrobat reader 9.1.3 on centos 5.3

Hi,
I am managing some linux servers for users and I am using Centos 5.3 and acrobat reader 9.1.3 appears not able to print duplex
I tried multiple documents on multiple printers (configured via cups).
Thing is that evince (http://projects.gnome.org/evince/) does print duplex without issue. But some users need the advanced features of Adobe reader.
Document type properties print dialog box default is set to duplex mode "simplex", but they are not changeable, even not when acroread was started as root.
And the individual printer settings are set for duplex.
All that acrobat reader 9.1.3 prints out is simplex (single sided printed).
I looked for config files in /etc, but could not find it, would be nice if this could be set in a conf-file in /etc
Thanks,
Joost

How can I save a Adobe document to print duplex for other users.

I want to create a doc using Adobe and be able to set it to print duplex by other users without the user needed to go into printer settings.
All the user has to do is click print on there computer and the doc. will print duplex. The users have Adobe Reader installed.

It is possible to set a default value for the Adobe Reader or Acrobat print dialog on a document basis. After the document is created, go to Document Properties (Ctrl-D), and select the Advanced tab. Go to the DuplexMode setting. Normally, this is set to Simplex, i.e. single sided printing. You can also set it to either Duplex Flip Long Edge or Duplex Flip Short Edge depending upon your needs. Duplex Flip Long Edge is normally used for printing of “portrait” orientation content with Duplex Flip Short Edge typically used for printing of “landscape” orientation content. Then save the PDF file (typically, “save as” should be used).
Important notes: Obviously, this only works if the PDF file is being opened by one of the applications that even bothers to look at these settings. Adobe Reader and Acrobat do. Don't count on MacOS Preview or other applications to do so! Furthermore (and somewhat obviously), this setting is only observed with print devices that directly support duplex printing. And finally, this does not force the user to print duplex. It simply pre-populates the print dialog; the user can change the setting.

How do I get my new MG5420 to print duplex?

Have new Mac and new MG5420 that is supposed to print duplex but wont.....or cant. The print boxes from the applications do NOT have any place to choose duplex........

I got to this thread because I had the exact same problem. I set up my printer wirelessly to connect with an Imac and a Macbook Air, both with Mac OS Mountain Lion. When I asked it to print, there were only a few options. There was no duplex available, nor were there color options. After trying a number of options like reinstalling printer drivers, I finally hit upon a solution.
I connected my printer to my Imac with a usb cable, and it showed up in my system preferences as "Canon MG5400 series -2" I enabled "share this printer on a network." Immediately on my Imac, when I went to print, all the print options were available including duplex and color options.
I then went back to my laptop, and found the options were still NOT available. However, I clicked on the "Printer" line at the top of the Print dialogue box, and it let me choose "Canon MG5400 series -2." As soon as I did that, all the advanced print options appeared on the Laptop Print dialogue box as well.
I don't know if this is the only way to fix the problem, but it certainly worked for me. I know the option that I have repeatedly seen of "Look for a drop-down menu with the heading of either "Layout," "Copies and Pages," or the name of the application you are printing from. Change this to 'Duplex Printing & Margin'" simply does not work, as the "Duplex Printing & Margin, just did not appear.
I hope this works for you as well.

Printing Duplex Pages, Single Page, Hidden Page Question

I have an 8 page form where there are several forms in the following format
Page 1 - Single Sided
Page 2 and 3 - Double Sided
Page 4 - Single Sided
Page 5 and 6 - Souble Sided
Page 7 and 8 - Double Sided
What I would like to do is have those blank pages in the form hidden from the staff but to make them available for printing since we use our copy machines as printers and they print on both sides of the paper.
I'm attaching the form so anyone can see what I'm talking about.

Any help is appreciated

It's probably on their Printer setup. Sometimes if you set print for duplex then another Operator comes in and uses the same printer and assumes it's simplex printing it can print duplex or whatever the previous print setting was used.

InDesign CS5 Won't Print Duplex

Hi,
I have InDesign CS5 and a Laserjet 2605DN printer. I printed duplex pages using InDesign with no problem on my old computer (Windows Vista) but now that I have another computer with Windows 8, I not able to print duplex.
There's no two-sided option available in InDesign's print dialogue. I have to choose "Setup," where a popup states, "If the desired print setting is available in InDesign's print dialogue box, please set it there to avoid printing conflicts."
I can print duplex from Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word... just not InDesign. I've searched for solutions, but haven't found anything related to InDesign. I'm hoping someone here can offer some help.
I don't understand why InDesign wouldn't have a duplex option available in its print dialogue box like other programs do.
Help, please...
Thank you.

Okay, I read through a couple of "More Like This" posts mentioned on the right-hand side of this forum and one post mentioned setting the paper size as "Defined by Driver." When I checked my setting, I saw it was already showing "Defined by Driver." So, I changed it to "Letter." And that solved the problem; I'm able to print duplex now, thankfully. I hadn't even noticed the paper size wasn't showing letter to begin with.
Hopefully this might be of help to someone else now.

Cant print pdf , whats up worked fine before ????

ok whats the deal,,, I cant print pdf anymore since I got this new update !!!!!!! windows vista , acro (acting up ) bat... Most all of my printing is PDF . can I just dump this 9.0 thing an go back to 8.0 ,,,,,,Thanks

Whoa! Sounds like you might have gotten hit by a virus. I have not heard of a message that you need to download AA9, particularly since AA9 has a hefty price with such a download. Was the download actually from Adobe or some unknown site? If the latter, I would suspect the worst (OK, I get paranoid at times). If it was AR9 (the reader), then it might be a more reasonable request, but the download should still be done from Adobe.com. AR9 can run with AA8 also, but there are hickups that occur that leads to Adobe's recommendation to not do a dual installation. That goes for AA8 and AA9 also. Typically AA8 is uninstalled with the AA9 installation.
Because of my paranoid view, I would suggest running a serious virus scan before doing anything else. I would not transfer anything to another machine or use a memory stick until you are sure things are clean. I virus would surely potentially cause such problems.
Feel free to ignore my ranting, but I am concerned about what happened as the download was done and such. Unless you are real sure about the "AA9", I would finish a virus scan, uninstall the AA9, and go back to AA8. You will need to be sure you uninstall, delete the Acrobat folders, use the MS Cleanup utility (mentioned several times in the forum), and reboot before the reinstall. If you are sure you had a clean AA9 download from Adobe and not some other place, then you might try it again. I would be tempted to go back to AA8.

Cannot print duplex from Preview

When I use my Epson Stylus Photo RX680 to print a document in Pages, I can use the duplex setting to print on both sides of the paper; when I print a document from Preview, the duplex setting is unavailable—grayed out. I've tried opening a PDF in Acrobat Reader, but that has almost no flexibility in print settings, thus no duplex setting.
How can I print a PDF on both sides?

I don't have an Epson RX680 and regrettably am not familiar with that printer, but let me ask you a couple of clarifying questions that, if it doesn't solve your issue outright, will hopefully provide some additional info for other pro bono helpers here to guide their troubleshooting suggestions.
1. In the print dialog box that presents the printer pulldown menu and presets pulldown menu, there is a button to the right of the printer pull-down with either a ▲ or a ▼ symbol. If it is ▼, click on that button to expand the print dialog box to reveal additional print dialog box configuration options.
2. Underneath the newly revealed "Orientation" buttons, there is another pulldown menu that, at least on mine right now, has "Preview" selected. When you activate that pulldown menu, do you have a "Layout" choice? Can you select it or is it grayed out?
3. If you can select that, some additional pull-down menus will be revealed, one of which is "Two-Sided." Choices within there, at least for me, are off, long-edge binding, and short-edge binding. Do you have those options and can you select any of them other than "off" or are those options grayed out?
4. If you can get that far, then you should be able to click on the print button, in order to print duplex from your duplex-capable printer.

How do I print duplex via AppleScript?

Hello - I am new to applescript and having a bit of difficulty trying to get started. My initial goal is fairly straightforward: each day (via an iCal action) download a specific URL and print it. Specifically, it's my daily newspaper and I'd like it waiting on the printer in the morning.
Most things worked very well via Automator, but I can't specify print options going that route (at least as far as I know). So, it my first good reason to learn AppleScript. However, I've perused quite a few sites and searched this forum, but can't figure out how to specify printer options like two sided printing.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
Not sure if you need this, but the printer type is a canon ip4300

When you say "Adobe", do you mean Acrobat or Reader (for PDFs), or one of Adobe's many other programs?
Usually, the option to print duplex is part of the print driver, and should appear in the print dialog regardless of the application.
Some apps have their own front to the print dialog, but you should still be able to get the rest of it.
The orientation is usually controlled by specifying Long Edge or Short Edge.

Problem printing duplex even though it's saved in the Crystal Report.

I'm using VS.NET 2010 with Crystal Reports 13.0.10.1385
We have a set of Crystal Reports that were created with Crystal 8.5 and they print duplex and the printer and printer preferences are saved with each Crystal Report.
The problem is this, I'm pulling in these reports to my VS.NET 2010 Project using Crystal Report Viewer and it will not keep the printer preferences when you print the report. Why, it works using VB6.0? The only way I can get it to print duplex is to manually set the printer preferences before printing the report.

Hi Bill,
Update the reports to CR 2011 or above then that info should be saved. If not add this line of code to your app:
rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Default; // you can change the last value
Or if using RAS use this:
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions RASPO = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
RASPO.PrinterDuplex = CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexSimplex;
And comparing RDC to .NET doesn't work. RDC used COM and DEVMODE, .NET uses the System.Printer API set.

Using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up

using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up as follows: the first page out is page 2, with 1 on reverse side, next page is page 4, with 3 on reverse side., etc. This requires that I re-collate every paper I print. Have tried a few things in set up and re-installing the printer, but still not fixed.

I am having the same problem. Nice to see that HP has not responded.

How can I stop Acrobat from overriding a printer's draft settings and printing in photo quality?

Regardless of which settings I choose for my printer, Acrobat always prints in maximum quality.
The printer works as expected with every other application I have, from Photoshop, Word and Pages, to Preview and Mail. But when I print a PDF via Acrobat or Reader, the printer lays down so much ink that the paper sometimes comes out damp.
If it matters, the printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and I'm using Acrobat 8.2.6 and Reader 10.0.3 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.7.
To reiterate, every other app I use respects the Epson printer dialog settings when it comes to printing in economy mode. I've looked around in Acrobat's print settings and can find absolutely nothing along the lines of "print in draft quality." Am I the only person who doesn't want, or need, to burn up expensive printer cartridges unnecessarily?
This has been a problem since I bought the software, and it behaved the same way with my old printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 800). I don't need to print very many PDFs, but when I do, the printer wastes an enormous amount of ink.
I'm not looking for a workaround, I just want to be able to open a PDF in Acrobat or Reader, hit CMD-P, choose the economy print setting, and have it actually print in low resolution.
Being able to print a draft copy of a PDF seems to be a perfectly reasonable expectation when using software from the very company that developed the PDF standard in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.

Understood. I've already checked for driver updates, and am already using the most current version. I really appreciate your trying to help, ... let's hope someone out there has some suggestions, too.
Cheers,
Francis
