Double-sided printing problem Acrobat Pro

I am trying to print pdf docs (downloaded from scientfic journals) and do right thing by manual doubled-sided printing i.e. print even pages first in reverse, turn paper over and then print odd pages.
When I first print even pages in reverse it prints second page twice and when I print odd pages it does not print last page.
I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
Windows XP Professional - Have lastest updates on Acrobat.
Thank you.

>I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
and what version are you using now?

  • How to show the layout option for double-sided printing on Acrobat Pro X on Mac?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.0.0 print dialog does not show the option to select Layout for two-sided (double-sided) printing. How to fix it?
    System: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on Mactel
    Thanks.

    David,
    Wow, it worked. Many thanks. This is what I did, following your directions to print PDF files as double-sided:
    01-Command P & Click "Printer button".
    02-Click Yes.
    03-Click the Popup Arrow to display contents.
    04-Select Two-sided "Long-Edge binding" or whatever needed and Click Print.
    05-Click OK to Print.
    What fooled me is that from Word (.doc) files the screen on step 3 and 4 show directly selecting a popup menu on the initial print window, whereas when printing PDF files it is required to go through steps 1-2-3 above.
    Again, many thanks. You made my day!!!

  • How can I permanently disable double sided printing in Acrobat Reader 11.0.09?

    It is annoying to have to manually turn off double sided printing every time I print a *.pdf.  Is this fixable?

    Hi prtlaw,
    Are you still look for answer?
    These option are available with printer drivers. So, this is something you need to check from printer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/choosing-print-options#1TC=windows-7
    Or change the properties of every document:

  • Creating PDFs for Double Sided Printing Problem

    I'm not having trouble printing, but with generating a pdf that will print double sided correctly. Currently I have a pdf with many invoices on it. Some are an odd number of pages long and some even. The problem I have is if I don't insert a blank page to the invoices with an odd number of pages (to make it even), then the next invoice's 1st page will be on the back of the previous invoice.
    Example:
    Invoice #1 has 3 pages
    Invoice #2 has 4 pages
    Invoice #3 has 2 pages
    After double-siding
    Invoice #1
    Page 1
    Front: Page 1 from Invoice 1
    Back: Page 2 from Invoice 1
    Page 2
    Front: Page 3 from Invoice 1
    Back: Page 1 from Invoice 2 <------ This is my issue

    Hi Brian
    this is addressed in 5.6.2, you can force and odd or even page to end the document, if you need the extra blank page to finish on a odd page say XMLP will insert it for you. Check the docs, http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_11/current/acrobat/115xdoug.zip

  • HP Deskjet 6988 double sided printing problem

    I'm new to Snow Leopard running 10.6.2. I installed HP update 2.5.2. In the past I usually left the option set to print double sided and the driver figured out what to do with a single page item. Now, with a single page, it prints it, waits for the ink to dry and then prints blank on the other side. Even worse, I asked for 10 copies of a single page and got 10 copies - one on each side of 5 pages. It's not a problem if I know how much paper a document requires but a pain when printing something off the web or an email where I don't know how long it will be.
    Should I install the driver from HP?

    I just purchased a duplexer for an HP Deskjet 6988.
    It works fine on my Macs running 10.5.X but doesn't work on my Macbook Air running 10.6.6. I'm able to select two sided printing from several applications, Apple and non Apple applications on the 10.5.X machines. The Air, it doesn't even recognize that it can print two sided.
    I've called Apple, they told me they don't have anything to do with the printer software even after I explained that I can print on older software and not on the latest machine. They directed me to HP. I called HP and they said they don't have drivers for 10.6 for this printer and told me to download the 10.5 software after resetting the printer. None of this worked. Turning the printer off, then deleting the printer software, adding it, restarting the computer ... all failed.
    $1800 computer that can't print two sided. Go figure.
    If anyone has a solid solution short of replacing a three year old, light used printer, I'm all ears.
    Thanks

  • Print problems Acrobat Pro V8.2.3

    Since performing this most recent update, I have been unable to print any pdf files to any of my printers.  Instead of getting the normal clean, crisp image I've been used to, I get a garbled blotchy mess of large black pixels that in a rough way present the original image.  Text comes through okay, but always black:  colors are lost in the translation.  If I'm lucky I get grey.
    No problem printing the same files using AcroReader 9.
    I've worked through the preferences, print settings, etc. and I can't figure anything that could be causing this problem.  Other than me executing the update recently.  Yes, I dabbled with the "Black Point Compensation" toggle in the Color Management dialog (preferences), but that had no effect.
    The Adobe printer works fine when generating pdfs from source documents, but when I attempt to "reprint" a pdf using this printer, I get the same garble, but only when using V8 Pro.  The reader worx fine.
    All I can figure is that Adobe included some switch/toggle in the recent update that has truly messed up the print function.  Anybody else suffering this or know of a solution?
    OS:  WinXP Pro SP3

    I found the answer in an earlier post:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/1171595#1171595  Wish it had been easier to find; search function proved inadequate.
    In my case, I DO know -- or can guess -- how the check box in the print dialog was changed to "Print color as black."  I bought a new MS ergo keyboard and I'm having a horrible time dealing with it.  My old Lite-on SK-6000 keyboard was totally different (better) and appears to be irreplaceable.  And I'm a "keyboarder."  I eschew my trackball at ever opportunity.  I'm certain I inadvertently hit "ALT-I" and toggled it on.
    I'm guessing it would take a true graphic artist type to want to use that toggle:  The output on my files is worse than what we process in sewage plants.  Truly.

  • Double sided printing problem -odd number of pages only

    If I print something with 8 or 12 pages or whatever (even numbers) everything works great. For 9 or 15 or whatever odd numbers it becomes sort of like a random number generator. Page 1 is ok but the backside where 2 should go may be blank as could be page 4. The last page prints on the very last page that should be blank. If I have a 9 page document I can select pages 1-8 and then separately print just page 9 and it works good.

    Hey , I see that you are having some issues with printing from your Windows Vista PC to your Deskjet 1510. Now a printer only prints what the computer tells it to print, but I can help you find the issue on your PC.

If it does not then try the following:Uninstall and reinstall the printer.Uninstall and reinstall the sotware you are printing from.Try a different program.If it does then please let other users know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.

  • 7410 double sided printing

    Well here I am again with printing problems.
    I have a Mac Book Pro using OS 10.9.5, Mavericks. I managed to resolve my Print/Scan problem with Shlomil's help. Also, he helped me some time ago with a double sided printing problem. Now I find I have the same double sided printing problem but am unable to follow his advice (which fixed the problem last time)....
    Now, The two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down menu! So, I went on to the following (using the last advice Shlomil provided)...
    "1. Verify the duplex-printing accessory has been installed properly. To verify this open the System Preferences and go to Printers & Scanners. Open the print queue of your printer. Click on Printer Setup and from the tab menu choose Driver. Verify the box next to HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked."  
    However, when I select the "Open Print Queue" there is no "Printer Setup" on the tab menu. So, I can't verify the "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplexer) is checked " (unless I'm doing something wrong). I  and went on to #2. 
    2. On the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click on Show Deatils to see all available settings.
    3. In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
    NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
    I skipped the above step since the two sided printing box does not appear on the print drop down Menu (and no expanded print window available).
    I  went on to #4.
    4. To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    5. Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    6. Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Long-Edge binding (landscape).
    Now, I don't show a "binding type" In the Layout" selection in the drop-down menu, etc.
    Shlomil suggested if this didn't work to reset the printing system. I'm really scared to do that because I have 3 printers and a scanner in different locations. When I selected the reset printing system the drop down said it would delete everything...all printers, scanners, faxes, etc.
     Is there any other less severe solution? I'm stumped! This all worked before (two sided printing, print/scan). The only thing I can think of is when I correct permissions or update to a newer OS.
    Please HELP! 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well...I can't believe it!  Please disregard my ramblings.
    I mucked around in the printer stuff and in System Preferences "Printers & Scanners", selected "Options & Supplies"  rather than the "Open Print Queue" and then selected "Options". The  "HP Two-sided Printing Accessory (Duplex)" box was located there. It was not checked. Although I don't know how it got unchecked, I checked it and it fixed my problems.
    Thanks Again

  • HP Officejet Pro 7680 and double-sided printing

    I just got this yesterday, but I cannot get this to print double-sided in my Macbook Pro (10.5.1). I checked the feature in the printing preference (system preference), but the double-sided option in the print dialog is always grayed out on all applications.
    My previous HP 7310 didn't have any problem printing double-sided.
    Also I get the error message related to hpsuppliestool program every time I try to print. I keep pressing ignore to get rid of the dialog but it's annoying.
    Any one with similar experiences or solutions?

    I'm updating this so that others can benefit from my experience.
    I got everything working now-duplexing, scanning, etc.
    I found the beta scanning software on the forum, and installed it. It works. I can scan multiple pages using the ADF w/o any problem.
    I found the beta printing software for HP OfficeJet Pro 7300 in the forum and installed it according to its instructions. Now duplexing is back.
    I found the HPsuppliesTools.app in my Library/printer folder and deleted it. No more error messages.
    So, now everything is working 100%!
    Thanks for HP folks to post things on this forum!

    Hi,
    Automatic Two-Sided printing is not currently supported by the ePrint Service, as you may find any of the service capabilities and limitations listed below:
    Duplexing (printing on both sides of the page) is not supported.

  • Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2

    Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
    Problem limited to Adobe Acrobat, MS Office 2008, Pages, Keynote.
    Can print double-sided from Safari and Mac Mail
    Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Have downloaded most recent driver from HP
    Computer: Apple MacPro Tower, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Processor speed = 3.2 GHz

    Correct way to install new driver is go to Printer Utility and delete That printer from the list.
    Then install the new driver.
    Then go back to Printer Utility and add the new driver Back
    Then go to systems preferences and to Print Fax (or Printer if no longer setup for fax) and set up for the the printer and set as default.
    This way you shouldn't have to go into either print menu or Page setup menu and set for desired printer.
    most hp printer in the pint menu you click copies and pages and mouse down to two sided pages you choose either book (facing pages) or Tablet (printed as you would a Tablet that's bound at the top.
    you need to test a two page document to see which does correctly for you. Its best never to have the application set for two sided. in fact if you have set for two sided in both one counter acts the the other.
    So set it only in the printer menu and no where else.
    Also once you set up you can save printer profiles that you can go back to click on the Presets button mouse down to very bottom save with a anme you can remember even put the words two-sided in title then save. Then you can go to that preset and print your heart out.

  • Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

    Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
    clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
    However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
    I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
    Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
    (I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
    Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
    Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
    And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

  • Last page of pdf inverted when double-sided printing

    Last year, my old tower Mac (OSX10.7.5)  suddenly began printing out the last page (only) of any PDF with an odd number of pages inverted in both vertical and horizontal axes (i.e. upside down mirror-writing), when doing double-sided printing on our HP Color Laserjet CP4005dn.  Single sided printing from the same Mac and PDF worked fine. The same last page also prints correctly if I simply chose to print that page alone.  I do not have the 'flip horizontal' checkbox ticked.  I could find no solution.
    I bought an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.9.4:  all upgrades installed.  I still have the same problem.  I repeat, this only happens in double-sided printing (selected 'long edge binding' under Layout) of the last page of a PDF with odd-numbered pages.  Word .docx  and other documents print just fine from the same computer and printer with same settings in the Print dialogue.
    Any suggestions?
    MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), plus iMac 27" OSX 10.9.4

    Hi,
    Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

  • How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

    HP Laser jet 1102w
    I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
    I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

    Hi,
    Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

  • Printing Problem with Pro 8 and Reader

    I have this problem where when I print to any printer, from Acrobat pro, or reader, any sort of graphics/image in the PDF doesn't come out properly. For example, most of the graphics/image part looks solid black, or blocky. I usually take the same PDF, open it up on another computer, and print it to the same printer i normally print to, and it prints fine. I also can print from any other program other than acrobat/reader just fine.
    So far, i have uninstalled Reader, and reinstalled Acrobat, with no result.
    Any ideas?

    Not alot of information to go on but you might check to see if Print Color As Black is checked in the lower left corner of the Print dialog.
