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.

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....

Adobe Reader und Adobe Acrobat drucken bei Duplex nicht doppelseitig

Hallo Leute,
vor einem halben Jahr hatte ich das Problem, daß Adobe Reader (7.1.4) nicht doppelseitig druckte, obwohl ich einen Duplex-Drucker benutze. Alle anderen Programme – einschl. Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4) – druckten doppelseitig.
So verglich ich die AVGeneral-Einträge vom Adobe Reader (7.1.4) und Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4) und stellte dabei fest, daß der Eintrag »bprintAutoRotate« auf 0 stand, obwohl er auf 1 hätte stehen müssen. Auch den Eintrag »bprintSetPageSize« mußte ich von 1 auf 0 ändern. Danach konnte ich wieder mit dem Adobe Reader (7.1.4) drucken.
Nun habe ich das Problem wieder – diesmal aber mit dem Adobe Reader (7.1.4) und dem Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4). Die oben genannten Einstellungen waren nun bei beiden falsch, ich änderte diese, machte einen Neustart, überprüfte die Einträge (die noch richtig waren), druckte aus – und wieder nichts. Die Seiten werden einseitig bedruckt. Schaue ich dann in die Registry, sind die Werte wieder falsch. Korrigiere ich die Werte (und mache natürlich einen Neustart), sind die Werte jedesmal nach einem Druckvorgang wieder falsch bzw. beim Drucken wurde nur einseitig gedruckt.
Mit NitroPDF lassen sich meine PDFs nach wie vor doppelseitig ausdrucken, doch wie kommt dieses aktuelle Phänomen zustande? (Betriebssystem: WinXP-SP3)

Darf ich vorschlagen, dass Sie entweder einen Übersetzer wie Google verwenden, oder posten Sie Ihre Fragen im Forum in Deutsch: http://forums.adobe.com/community/international_forums/deutsche
May I suggest that you either use a translator such as Google's, or post your questions in the Forum in German?

Duplex printing in adobe reader XI

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I write because I have a problem with two-sided printing PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.
Summary of the problem:
When printing a PDF file that contains two pages I select the option "Print on both sides of the paper" parameters "by Flip on Long Edge" and the orientation of the "Auto. Vertical / horizontal. The result of these operations, when I print. Is that the first page prints correctly. On the back of the cards are printed the information from the second page in the correct format, but with the information from the first in a unique way, namely by me look as if they were printed in a mirror image.
Prior to printing that is done smoothly, printed data to improve on the first and on the other side. Unfortunately, I am unable to say what was the turning point after which it changed, because I'm not a direct user of this computer. The printer supports duplex printing function, of course. Other programs such as Word office document are printing correctly on both sides as expected.
The steps that I took to correct the problem:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Restart the printer.
3. Re-install the program Adobre Reader.
4. The use of different combinations of print settings in Adobe Reader.
The type of computer:
-Computer PC.
-Operating-System: Windows XP SP3.
-Printer Connected directly to the computer using the USB cable.
Sincerely

Thanks for the option. It did work setting the print as image on. Does this mean there is something wrong with how the PDF was created or that Adobe Reader is just having a problem reading it?

Adobe Reader 8.1.1 does not remember Duplex setting

Restarting the old thread.
Some techinical issues have rendered the earlier post read only.
Johnapp - 12:03pm Oct 9, 2007 Pacific
I am printing with CUPS under Ubuntu Feisty and I have defined a HP Laserjet-4Si-4Si-MX-600-dpi printer/driver and set the default duplex setting within the CUPS system to long edge binding.
However, every time I start Adobe Reader 8.1.1, the properties window for that printer shows Duplex Printing: Off. If I change it in that dialog, it is remembered as long as the program stays open, but after closing and starting fresh, this is again set to off.
Since I nearly always want to duplex-print this is extremely annoying.
Is there a way to set the default within the Adobe Reader program? Is there some way to pass settings to the program or to force a setting for this through a configuration file?
The documentation of these issues is extremely lacking, not to say entirely missing, it seems.

hi johnapp,
We are not able to reproduce the problem at our end.
Can you please try out the following things at your end. It will help us in isolating the issue.
Is the above behaviour also happening with properies other than "Duplex"?
What happens if you press the "Defaults" button on the properties dialog? Does the "Long Edge Binding" option comes up on hitting the "Defaults" button?
Regards,
Rishi
Johnapp - 5:22am Oct 10, 07 PST (#2 of 3)
Yes, all the properties in the properties dialog are affected: page size, input bin, output bin, duplex printing. After restarting the program the same happens as pressing the "Defaults" button, setting all these values to specific values, of which the duplex setting is "off" and unwanted and different from what I defined in the printer configuration dialog of the OS.
Neha Seth - 4:00am Oct 11, 07 PST (#3 of 3)
Hello,
Could you please try the following steps and let us know your observations?
1) Go to the CUPS page (http://localhost:631) and change the default values of PageSize to "A2", Duplex to "Long Edge Binding", Resolution to "300dpi" and apply the changes. Please take a screenshot of the settings here.
2) Launch Reader 8.1.1 (after removing the $HOME/.adobe folder) and open the print dialog. Choose the printer for which defaults were set in step 1 and click on the "Properties" button. Are the values chosen above listed in the drop-down boxes here? Please take a screenshot here too.
3) What is the behavior on clicking the "Defaults" button now? Please take a screenshot after this step as well.
Could you please send the screenshots to nseth at adobe dot com? I know this is a slightly time-consuming exercise, but it would be great if you could try the above, since the issue reported by you is not reproducible at our end.
Sincerely,
Neha,

Scratch that, I got it to work.
Even though the following commands:
lpoptions -p printer-name -l | grep -i duplex
and
grep -i printer-name /etc/cups/lpoptions
were both showing duplex as the default on both the client and server side and despite the fact that the lp and lpr commands defaulted to double-sided, acroread and it turns out even evince were not.
I re-ran the command:
lpadmin -p printer-name -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
from the cups server for each of our duplex printers and now it looks to work fine.
I'm not sure how or when this happened but it sounds more like something I did or else an issue with cups (perhaps an update made something inconsistent?) than it does an acroread problem.
Thanks for your time,
Elliott

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

Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
learn how to get past it. Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again"
Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
instead of defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
CTRL P or File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
Within "Printer:" use drop down to select "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
now we're here
Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
Once finished close this (top left)
You will be returned to this panel
To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
make sure it is aiming UP
Middle of screen is "Layout" Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
follow for two sided printing
Check mark "Print Both Sides"
By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
course adjust other items while here
Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
i.e. grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
Finally, Check Mark "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 duplex option broken

After installing the latest upgrade to 10.1.2, Adobe Reader X fails to print single pages, when the "Print on both sides of paper" option is selected. It gives no error message, but nothing prints, and the printer queue is empty.
Is this a new problem? Or is it just because the option was selected by default after I upgraded? I don't usually choose duplex printing, when there is only 1 page, but I would still expect it to print the page.

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?

Duplex printing using Adobe Reader XI, v11.0.04

I am using Adobe Reader XI, v11.0.04 on my MacBook Air (IOS 10.9 (13A603) Mavericks. When I go to print out a document there is no option for duplex (two sided) printing. I get a message that says this is a property of the operating system and upon sending me to another entry form (presumably from the operating system) there is a place to check "black & white" and "2 sided" printing but when I check "OK" it goes back to the Adobe Reader form for printing and will not priint out using 2 sided printing. Kindly advise how to do this. I am tired of wasting paper.

Hi wilsco ,
Thank You for posting on the forums. Do you have Acrobat and Reader both of them installed on the same system?
Kindly help with the exact version of both Reader and Acrobat.
You can try printing the file as an image by going to the advanced settings in print dialouge box.
Try updating the driver for your printer as well.
Thanks,

Adobe Reader X duplex printing issue

Each time I try to print a pdf, the application changes the default duplex from no duplex (single sided set in the properties of the printer in windows control panel ) to duplex(print on both sides). I can uncheck the box to have it not print the duplex.
This is frustrating because each time I open a new pdf I have to do this?
Adobe reader X
Printer is a Kyocera 1128
Any one got any ideas?

I was having the same problem, and I found the answer on another site. To fix it, you need to edit/create a registry key:
Open Regedit, and surf to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral
Look for a DWORD named "iDuplexMode". If it's there, change the value to 1
If it's not there, create it - Add a new DWORD, name it "iDuplexMode" (no quotes) and enter the value 1
Close Regedit, and restart Reader if you had it running.
Now the printing dialog will default to having duplex turned off.
The only problem with this is it will only work for the current user...For multi-account machines, you'll have to do this for every user, or create a .reg file for them to import.

Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

Hi,
I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.
I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.
my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;
The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0
I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I see Acrobat/Reader 9.0 is available. Is there anything regarding passing collate=true/false in 9.0?

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.10 duplex printing not working

I am trying to print a pdf two sided. My operating system is Windows 8.1 Pro and I am using the Xerox Work Centre 5875 printer. The settings on the print driver are set to default print 2 sided and in adobe reader two sided printing is checked off but it still comes out 1 sided. Printing double sided works in all other programs. Please help.

Hi satsugyo1,
For printing both sides, you might also need to enable 'printing on both sides' option in Reader print dialog box.
Please do the same and then print your PDF.
Let me know how it goes.

Anubha
