Acrobat Reader 8 Will Not Default to Double Sided / Duplex Printing In Linux

Acrobat Reader for Linux 8.1.2 seems to always default to single sided printing regardless of the system default. In order to save trees, toner, the environment and money, it would be nice if it would default to the system's default.
> The default printing command is something like:
> lpr -P printer_name -o InputSlot=Middle -o OutputBin=PrinterDefault -o Resolution=300x300dpi -o PageSize=Letter -o Duplex=None
> Requiring the user to select double sided printing every time they print. This changes the command to:
> lpr ... Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
> It would be nice if the default setting was:
> lpr ... Duplex=PrinterDefault
> So that users could still choose but platform administrators could set the default in /etc/cups/lpoptions Unfortunately, most people will simply not print double-sided unless its the default.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • Acrobat reader will not print in OSx maverick

    I have not been able to print pdf files in Acrobat Reader using OSx Maverick. I have re-installed the the most recent version of Acrobat reader a couple of times but no success printing. Anyone dealing with the same proble and is there a solution?

    All I can report to you is that I can print from Adobe Reader just fine. I'm using an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1 and have been able to print since day one. One suggestion is to use Adobe Reader's print button icon instead of just Command-P.  You might also try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
    What happens, exactly, when you attempt ot print and how do you try to do it?

  • Acrobat reader will not print what is showing on the screen

    I created a business card in a graphic design program,  exported it as a PDF file. When I open the pdf file in acrobat, it will display correctly on the screen, but will not print correctly. 
    When I click on the print icon, a box opens and shows a small preview of what is supposed to print. What shows in the small preview box is correct, but when it prints, it drops off text.
    When I go back to the program that created the card, it will print correctly from that program.  When I open the pdf file in Photoshop, it will print correctly in Photoshop.  It just drops off text in Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader when printing.

    This sounds very similar to the issue that I am having.
    acrobat pro printing correctly ,same file with adobe reader printing grey instead of black.
    Unfortunately I have not yet gotten any feedback, and your post being over 45 days without a response doesn't bode well for my issue either.
    Sorry I can't help you.

  • On linux, Acrobat Reader will not open files on SMB server

    I try double clicking a file on a network SMB server in Nautilus on Ubuntu and Acrobat reader starts but does not open the file.
    What's going on?
    Alex

    Hi Alex,<br /><br />Just for confirmation, have you opened the Windows share in Nautilus directly i.e. using URL of the form smb://<server-name>/<share-name>/ and then trying to open the PDF file by double-clicking?<br />If that is the case, it is a known issue.<br /><br />In the meantime, one way to open the PDF file (if you have sufficient privileges) would be to mount the SMB share, open the share (from the mount point) in Nautilus and then try to open the PDF by double-clicking?<br />Could you please try this and let us know if there are any issues with this?<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback,<br />Varun

  • Acrobat Reader will not open scanned files

    Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, I have been unable to view any documents scanned with my Lexmark printer/scanner.
    Until now, I have scanned documents to a PDF in the following manner:
    -  I Press Scan mode on Printer/Scanner
    -  Printer/Scanner downloads Application List
    -  I choose "Scan to Acrobat Reader" and press Start to begin
    -  Printer/Scanner screen says "Scanning to Acrobat Reader" as document scans & "Scanning Completed" when it finishes
    -  Message box displays on Computer screen that says "adding image"
    -  ABBYY FineReader 6 Plus progression meter is displayed on Computer screen until document is 100% processed.
    -  PDF file of the scanned document opens on Computer screen by Acrobat Reader
    Since upgrading to Adobe Reader X, everything works the same except the final step.  I am unable to view the PDF, and therefore I am unable to save the document.  Does anyone know of any settings in Adobe Reader X that I need to adjust so that Adobe could work the same as the earlier version and create a PDF of a scanned document?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jay

    I never did get a response to my original post, but I would like to share with others what I did to finally fix the problem.
    The problem I described in my original post was with a Lexmark x4580 printer.
    I removed Adobe X from my PC and downloaded previous versions of Adobe reader until I found one that worked.  It turned out that Adobe Reader 7 worked.  I was able to scan a document from my Lexmark x4580 printer and Adobe 7 opened the document on my PC in a PDF.
    I hope this info helps out anyone having a similar problem.
    Take care and God bless,
    Jay

  • I have a new macbook pro and an HP Deskjet D2500 series printer and i can not figure out how to do double sided (duplex) printing! any help?

    Does anyone know how to set up print so that it comes out double sided with the macbook pro??

    How you enable double-sided printing can depend on the applications from whick you wish to print. Example: if I print to my HP PhotoSmart  from Safari, I get this print dialog box:
    (Edit: OOPS! Note that I forgot to switch printers when i took the scene-shots, so ignore the "Brother" reference. It's should look the same for your HP.
    Note the selection labled "Safari" near the bottom. If I change that form "safari to "Layout: I get this:
    Note the option for two-sided printing appears for your selection. If I print from Word, the box is different:
    The "Copies & Pages" option can be changed to "Layout" when you click it, again allowing the selection of two-sided printing.
    If you tell us what applciaiton is vexing you, we may be able to give better-focused information.

  • Mac photosmart 5514 double sided / duplex

    I got a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.1
    I've already installed the latest driver update from apple
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    and also checked the firmware on the photosmart 5514 for any update.
    When trying to print from the mac (wireless), the option for double sided / duplex printing is always grayed out.
    How can I enable this function?
    Note: Product Name and Number etc which may be displayed along with this entry are incorrect. I couldn't find a way to change this. I had an windows hp pavillion and a deskjet before I moved to Apple.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    The HP Photosmart 5514 (B111c) does not support automatic duplex printing but only the B111h model does.
    You may perform manual duplexing using the Pages to Print option as listed below:

  • Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

    Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
    I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

    no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

    I get this error when trying to print from a website.
    Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
    You will be directed to a site where you can download
    the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
    I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

    Have you done ALL OF THIS?
    In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
    In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
    You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
    There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
    In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
    Close that tab.
    Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
    Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
    Click OK.
    Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
    Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

  • Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

    I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade.  The fix is simple so read on.  After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped.  I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was.  For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
    Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader.  My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers.  I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers.  You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer.  That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed.  I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well.  The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense.  I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers.  That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
    ****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser.  If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open.  You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer.  The windows update prevents you from doing it.  At least that is my understanding. 
    The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser.  The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista.  A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista.  I hope this helps some avoid some headaches.  I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose. 
    I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

    Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader.  With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
    My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system.  For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version. 
    If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top.  However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web.  Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser.  At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

    Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

    As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
    Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
    On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
    Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg

    Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg. It just gives an error message and shuts down every time I to save it as jpeg. Any advice why this conversion will not work?  I use a PC and run Windows 7.

    The Acrobat 8 product family passed into End of Support years ago.
    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with today's OSs.
