Default Duplex Printing - Adobe Reader 11

Hello,
I recently installed Adobe Reader 11. I notice that, while the default for my Brothers duplex printer is set in WINDOWS 7 64 bit to Duplex, the Adobe Reader "Print" screen is displayed with the "Print on both sides of paper" box unchecked. If I check it, the printer does the duplex printing correctly.
My question is: why is Adobe Reader 11 overriding my duplex print option setting in Windows, and is there any way to correct this?
Thanks

Hi Atul,
thanks for your response. It turns out the problem is not restricted to Adobe Reader, but also seems to be happening with other Windows programs (like Firefox).
My printer is a Brother HL-5370DW which is network connected. I have set up the print preferences (using the Windows Control Panel Devices and Features) so the default is Duplex printing; however, when I go to print from any Windows program (including Adobe Reader), the preferences box shows Duplex is not set per the default. If I change it to Duplex, it works fine - just curious why the Default Duplex setting isn't used.
Any ideas would be appreciated - and thanks for your help....
Phil

  • Slow printing Adobe Reader XI

    Hi there!
    Like so many others, I am having a difficult time printing Adobe Reader documents. I am running system 10.6.8 (not sure which cat that is), Adobe Reader XI and my printer is a HP LaserJet P2015dn. I ran Software Update, re-installed the driver from the HP website and updated to Reader XI. I'm not sure what else I can do and printing at five minutes per page is really frustrating.
    Thank you for any advice!!

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Default settings in adobe reader 9 may cause colors to shift error

    Upon printing a color document to PS printer, Adobe reader 9
    gives the following message:
    Obviously, one cannot see the options but... Top appears to do nothing, nothing prints. Middle you get print, bottom no print. One of these has to be a fix button chosing this and restarting adobe results in the same message again. If you check do not show this box, it never prints and you don't get this option to select the middle choice that makes it work. So, my question is, what is this dialog changing, and why won't it hold it's value? If the box never appears again, what configuration option do we need to change to get the file to print?

    I am getting the exact same issue, could someone please explain what is happening here.
    Thank you.

  • Default Saving Location Adobe Reader Version 11.0.1

    Default Saving Location Adobe Reader 11.0.1 -
    Since upgrading to Reader XI the default saving location no longer works. So esssentially in previous versions The file path would default to the last place you saved a document, so when saving multiple documents in the one file path it wasn't time consuming.
    Since upgrading it does not do this anymore and you have to select the file saving path each time you open a new PDF, which adds to the time to save multiple documents, so currently I guess it just opens a temporary folder each time you select Save As.
    Can you please advise the setting that needs to be altered to fix this.
    Thanks

    Thank you.  We have tried that but it has not made any difference.  Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

  • How to change margin value in mode booklet printing Adobe Reader X ?

    How to change margin value in mode booklet printing Adobe Reader X ?

    Is this a form you created in Acrobat or is it a form that you're using with Reader? If the latter, there's nothing you can do if the field has been set up to format the field with a £ for the currency symbol.

  • Acrobat X: Lost default duplex print

    When I upgraded, I lost the ability to duplex print by default and would like to know if I can restore it. I'm working on a mac and there is no duplex option in Acrobat's print command. My printer settings are set on duplex and it operates just fine in other programs. In Acrobat, I have to go into its printer settings via Properties to select duplex. I just want Acrobat to not override my printer settings and default to single-sided when I want 2-sided. Is there way to at least change the default print settings in Acrobat without having to change the Properties setting for each and every file? What an odd feature for Adobe to put into this software and I hope a fix is imminent if there is no simple solution in the current version. One expects an upgrade to be an improvement only in areas where it improves the workflow, not detracts from it, yes?

    The changes in Acrobat & Reader 10.1.2 associated with printing were clearly a big problem. As far as we know,  no one actually lost the capability of controlling simplex versus duplex printing, but rather, a very ill-conceived mechanism was introduced that assumed that if your printer has duplex capabilities of any type, you would or should use them.
    The plans of record are to provide a fix for this issue in the next quarterly update to Acrobat and Reader due next month. There will be a control for duplex in the print dialog, but it will only reflect what you have already set in the printer properties (either on Windows or Macintosh). The dialog will allow you to change that setting while in Acrobat, but it will not make assumptions as to what you could or should do vis-a-vis duplex printing. In this respect, it will be similar to print dialogs in applications such as Microsoft Office in terms of allowing access to duplex printing, but not forcing it.
    However, there is something peculiar in your particular situation. Normally, with Acrobat & Reader 10.1.2, if the printer supports duplex as determined by the printer's PPD file (for PostScript devices) or from the driver otherwise, you would see a duplex control in the print dialog itself. The fact that your printer supports duplex (correct?) and that you aren't seeing the duplex control in the print dialog is a problem we aren't currently aware of. You are seeing the forcing of duplex without the ability to control it from the print dialog? Correct? I'll send the report of this to the appropriate group within Acrobat engineering.

    Hello Dov.
    Thank you for your input. Can you confirm that these strange printing issues would also cause my PDF files to print in color and 1-sided even when the default in Control panel for my printer is 2-sided and B&W?
    Thanks!

  • No default duplex printing

    Adobe Reader 10.1.3 does not print 2-sided by default for my duplex printer (brother hl-5250-dn). I can force duples printing by calling up the print dialog from the operating system (Mac OS X 10.7.3), but I understood that the reader was supposed to do this automatically for a duplex printer. What is the problem?

    I'm sorry, but this forum is for Adobe Digital Editions, not Adobe Reader.

  • Duplex printing with Reader XI?

    Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) does not recognize duplex printing for my Brother HL-5370DW printer.  This occurs in OS X 10.6.8 and Mavericks (on different computers).  All other software, including Acrobat Reader 9 (and earlier versions of Reader) and Acrobat 8 do recognize the duplex mode on the 10.6.8 machine.
    Is there a solution or a software workaround?
    Thanks

    I don't know what is causing this; you could try Print as Image (Advanced button on the Print panel).

  • Duplex-Druck Adobe Reader ergibt "Buchstabensalat"

    Hallo,
    wir haben bei uns im Unternehmen ein Problem beim Duplex-Drucken mit der aktuellsten Adobe Reader Version (10.1.3).
    Sobald man ein Dokument (z.B. Mailanhang) per Direktdruck/Schnelldruck ausdrucken möchte, wird ab der zweiten oder dritten Seite nur noch "Buchstabensalat" ausgedruckt. Dieses Problem taucht auf unseren HP 1320 Druckern auf, es lässt sich auch ohne weiteres auf einem frisch installierten Rechner nachspielen.
    Startet man den Reader, ohne Dokument, und lässt diesen nebenbei mitlaufen funktionieren alle Ausdrucke ohne Probleme.
    Hat jemand eine Idee wo hier das Problem liegen könnte??
    Danke!

    Hallo,
    danke für die Antwort.
    1. ja, dass Problem tritt mit allen PDFs auf.
    2. es ist unabhängig von dem Programm mit dem die Dokumente erstellt worden sind. (z.B. PDFCreator, oder Writer Pro)
    3. dazu gab es bei dem Dokument keine Angaben.
    4. nein, das Problem besteht nur auf dem Druckertyp.
    5. OS ist XP SP3.
    Wir haben jetzt noch das Update auf 10.1.4. installiert und das Problem besteht weiterhin.
    Zum Vergleich haben wir den Foxit Reader installiert, dort gab es bei dem gleichen Testablauf keine Probleme.

  • I have the latest version of Adobe Reader and I still can not print adobe reader documents on my Mac Air laptop but I can print any other type of file or document?

    What settings need to be changed in order to print in Adobe Reader?

    Thank you for your kind and thoughtful input.
    My Adobe reader is the most current one that's out there per Adobe.
    Something like XII  or higher.
    As for my Outlook, it's MS Outlook 2003, and I believe it's Express Outlook.
    If I disable the Protected Mode, per your suggestion, maybe that will work.
    I'll try it.
    Thanks again, and if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate your
    thoughts.
    Thank you.

  • How to set default view in Adobe Reader 9?

    I am trying to figure out how to set adobe reader so that when you open a document you automatically get the page view on the right side come up and the document in full mode.  I have researched registry edits and also the customize wizard with no luck.  Does Adobe Reader have the capability to set these as defaults on any document?  I have the application setup to remember what I did so if I open the same document it will show pages and be in full mode; however, if I open a new document, I have to select the icon on the left to display pages and then set to full mode.  Thanks Joe

    Does Adobe Reader have the capability to set these as defaults on any document?
    Adobe Acrobat can do this, not Adobe Reader.

  • How do I make Preview the default instead of Adobe Reader?

    When Adobe Reader is installed it makes itself the default and then doesn't provide you anyway to change it that I know of. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader but then realized that that is the only way to view PDFs from a web browser and therefore had to reinstall it.

    Find a PDF on your computer...
    Right click it and choose "Get Info".
    Under the "Open with:" section, choose Preview.
    Then click the button below that says "Change All..."
    Now all your PDFs will open with Preview.
