Adobe Reader 8 prints head-to-toe on duplex printer...

I'm working with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and Windows XP Pro. Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dn, which has automatic duplex printing capability.
I have PDF files that contain several pages. When I set the 2605's "Preferences" to print duplex (print on both sides of the page), it prints the pages "head-to-toe" - page 1 is right side up, page 2 (on the back of page 1) is upside down, page 3 (on the 2nd sheet of paper) is right side up, page 4 (on the back of page 3) is upside down, and so on.
I've experimented with the various settings in Reader's Print dialog box, but nothing makes all the pages print right side up.
I don't know the source of the problem: the multi-page PDFs I'm trying to print were not all created by the same person or software. Duplex printing works correctly when printing multi-page documents from other kinds of software (e.g., Microsoft Word and various databases).
Any suggestions?
Thanks, John

I put this aside. The only thing I can think of, is installing earlier verisons and testing those. I'm not sure Adobe will assist on this issue since Adobe Reader is a free program. I'll post any solutions that come this way.

    Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
    I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
    Thanks!

    Hi John,
    Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
    Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

  • Print PDF file in Adobe Reader from Galaxy Tab 2 to HP Printer?

    Can someone please tell me an easy way to do this?  I've tried Cloud Print and Printer Share and neither one are very user friendly.  When I open my PDF in Adobe Reader on my tablet 2, the only printer listed is the Cloud Print.  This is a pain in the butt.  It really shouldn't be this hard. 

    did you get an answer to this one?  I am having the same problem.

  • How do I remove the print head in a PIXMA MX922 printer so I can clean or replace it?

    How do I remove the print head in a PIXMA MX922 printer so I can clean or replace it? The printer clean and deep clean features will not provide print quality corrections.

    Hi Happy,
    To remove the ink tanks and print head from the printer, please follow the steps located here.  Please note that we do not recommend cleaning the print head using any other methods other than the ones built into the printer, as it may do damage to the printer.  If performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer do not resolve the issue, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

  • My Adobe Reader toolbar that allows you to save, print, email, etc. the document in the browser window/tab has disappeared and I want to know how to get it back.

    I was unable to view PDF files in Firefox and would get a blank screen telling me I needed to re-install Adobe. I did that and was still unable to view PDF files in the browser window or tab.
    Now that I have upgraded to the most current version of Firefox I no longer have the Adobe Reader toolbar that used to be a toolbar above a PDF file when viewing in the browser window or tab. I don't have the printer icon, floppy disc icon, email icon, page arrows to scroll up or down, the percentage for size, etc. Is there a way to be able to have this toolbar again?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

  • Adobe Reader 9.4.6: how to skip print dialog

    Hello,
    in our company we implement a freestanding self-services kiosk project.
    The kiosk uses a browser, which links with internal application server, which contains the required information.
    There's also an option to print some documents via Adobe ActiveX PlugIn. Explored some versions of Adobe Reader, we considered that the most appropriate is version 9.4.6. We strongly needed to set Adobe Reader so that the only clickable button in upper toolbar is “Print” button, and also side navigation panel is hidden (because pdf file opens in the frame within the kiosk system page). We've succeeded with this issue.
    But now we experience one more problem. When the user clicks the "Print" button, the print dialog appears. Is it possible to choose default printing settings and start printing avoiding print dialog by some standard options?
    Or maybe you can provide us an event, which initiates Adobe print dialog, so that we can use it to fire the OK within java script.
    Best regards
      Anton.

    Looks like you need a silent print, take a look at:

    The steps are for Acrobat. You'll need to see if they work with Reader.

    I see that this problem occured with earlier versions and was later fixed. Is a fix available for this version?
    thanks

    Thanks for the link, but installing the flash player and the newer version of the Reader [11.0.02] doesn't help. So I had to reinstall the X version to make things work. I want to make a bug report but the form isn't working either!

  • Adobe Reader 9.1.3 fr does not print text, only graphix

    I recently had a problem with windows live hotmail, removed the recently installed adobe reader usin windows removing program to test the problem with no change then reinstalled adobe reader, since i connot print any pdf  file, only the graphix is printed. I have : windows family vista french on a dell 530.

    To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 .  I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
    However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file.  Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
    The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
    BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
    Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
    In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader.  In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
    However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac.  However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 views but won't print a graphic that prints in version 7.0

    I have several pdf files that were created from Adobe InDesign.  The files contain a photo that has text and another graphic layered on top of the photo.  When I export the InDesign file to Adobe PDF, I can see the entire image (photo, text, and graphic), but when I try to print the PDF from Adobe Reader 9.0, the graphic image does not print.  When I try to print the same pdf file from a computer that has Adobe Reader 7.0 installed, the file prints fine.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?  If not, is there any way I can get Adove Reader 7.0 reinstalled (I can't find it on the website).  Thanks.

    Try and print the PDF as an image.
    Also when you send this to someone else are hey able to print without an issue?
    Have you've tried another printer?

  • Adobe Reader XI - No pages were selected to print

    Trying to print PDF's in Adobe Reader XI when trying to print the error message "No pages were selected to print" appears. Trying to print from a network printer, the printer itself is a Dell 2135cn MFP PCL6. I'm working on a cloud server and a colleague of mine seems to have no problem with the issue with printing PDF's to this printer.
    Took a look into the issue and attempted to save the file to the desktop, print the file as an image and checked all the properties were correct these all seemed to show no effect on the situation. Used CutePDF to build a new PDF and tried that as well which didn't work.  Printed a test page to the printer to see if it printed which it did. Seems I'm only able to print from other programs just not PDF.

    HI ,
    Kindly follow the below mentioned steps:-
    On the Print window select your printer.
    Click on advanced tab
    select Print as an image
    Click Ok.

  • Pls Help! Adobe reader 9.0+ generated barcodes on pre-print is problem

    hi to all,
    I have a really strange problem and would like to share with you.
    Im generating the barcodes on the pre-print event, using LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
    Everything is ok when im trying to generate 2/3/4 barcodes in my form.
    The PROBLEM is if I decide to add more than 5 barcodes in my form and try to print it.
    Then - when I decide to print the form and to fill the information in my barcodes - the Acrobat Reader is just closed.
    No error alert..just closed. When i debugged the problem I saw that generating of barcodes is starting, but if there are more than 5 barcodes,
    the adobe reader closed before all barcodes to been generating.
    I do think about no enough memory, or something like that..but have no idea really what’s that.
    Do u have any idea what’s that problem..
    thanks in advance for yr time
    Regards

  • Adobe Reader XI not responding when trying to print a document

    I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit. I just upgraded to Adobe Reader XI because I was having similar issue with earlier version (I think it was 10.1.2). But the problem persists.
    I open the document and when click on Print, it becomes unresponsive. The Print windows doesn't pop up either. Then I have to force close the application.
    I have updated my printer driver. Tried other solutions described elsewhere like unchecking Enable Protected Mode at Startup; creating a share name of printer.
    Very frustrating.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please don't post the same question multiple times, especially without providing any essential information!
