PDF Pages wrongly in reverse order

My Acrobat Pro Xl creates/saves PDFs with pages in reverse order -- page 1 is at the bottom, so you have to scroll down to it; the PDF opens with the last page on top. How do I make Acrobat Pro Xl create/save the PDF with the pages in the correct order?

You can use JavaScript to move the pages within the PDF. See the example in the Acrobat JS API Reference.

PDF files print in reverse order per page

Hi - I am trying to figure out if this is an adobe issue or a printing issue. It is happening only on this user who is on Adobe 9.1 -everyone else is on 7.0 and they aren't having this issue. So maybe it is a combo.
When the user prints a PDF which was a powerpoint file (she did not creat it was sent via email) she selects 2 per page and hten selects doublesided - landscape and collates staples top left hand side.
File prints doublesided and collates, but what would be slide one would be on the bottom of the page and what would be slide 2 would show at the top. On the back of the 1st page slide 3 is at the the bottom and slide 4 is at the top. Staples at the bottom right.
Printer settings seem ok......there is a selection for order and top to bottom is selected. Reverse order is NOT selected.
Are there any settings in Adobe that would cause this? I have googled and though there are some similar questions no one has answered.
specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Adobe 9.1 (latest updates)
Canon IR C5185 (multifunction color)
thanks in advance. Robin

Hey,
Please let me know what is your Reader version.
Open Reader and go to Edit->Preferences->Accessibility and deselect 'Replace Document Colors' option.
If this does not help, then try repairing Adobe Reader and then check.
Let me know.

Printing config sm to be set to print in reverse order. How to fix?

OSX 10.6.3 and MS Word 12.23. When I go to print-to-disk a Word document (i.e. turn it into a PDF using Preview as the default display tool) I get a PDF whose pages are in reverse order. Fine for hard copy output, useless for PDF. Every Print pref or config setting I look for offers no help and, of course, as is completely normal, the Help menu offers nothing either.
I have found an easy fix for a small document — do a "preview" of the document in the Print dialog then drag the pages manually to where they should be. But not every document I work with is small.
Suggestions please.

Oh John, thanks for trying to help. However, I'm not trying to print to any printer. I'm trying to "print-to-disk" i.e. save as a PDF to the desktop so I can later send it as an email attachment.
And by the way, I forgot to mention for you and other kind folk in here — the Word print dialog box does contain a setting Copies & Pages/Page Handling/Page Order with the options "automatic, normal, reverse" but it makes no difference what I select, I still end up with "reverse".
Grrr

Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Anybody out there?

Commands to Print Word Document in Reverse Order and Only Evens or Odds

I have an HP Photosmart printer that doesn’t have automatic duplex printing, so instead of manually printing the odds and then flipping the paper and printing the evens, I decided to write a script (I’m very new to script writing, so go easy on me):
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print out active document print out page type print odd pages only
end tell
display dialog "After the papers finish printing and after you place the papers back into the printer, rotated 180º, click OK." buttons {"OK"} ¬
default button "OK" with icon note
set the user_choice to the button returned of the result
if the user_choice is "OK" then
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print out active document print out page type print even pages only
end tell
end if
The only things that are working are the printing and the dialog box. The odd pages and even pages scripts don’t seem to work (though I read this passage from Guy Hart-Davis’s +AppleScript: A Beginner’s Guide+ http://books.google.com/books?id=9uBeokAwNLsC&lpg=PA303&ots=ICfmxTfG-W&dq=apple% 20script%20print%20odd%20number%20pages&pg=PA303#v=onepage&q&f=false) and I can’t find any command that will print my even pages in a reverse order. Any help would be so much appreciated.

I believe I got the script to print the second round in reverse order, but I still can’t get it to print odd pages only and even pages only.
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print out active document
end tell
display dialog "After the papers finish printing and after you place the papers back into the printer, rotated 180º, click OK." buttons {"OK"} ¬
default button "OK" with icon note
set the user_choice to the button returned of the result
if the user_choice is "OK" then
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print with properties {print reverse}
end tell
end if

C4380 prints 3x times and in reverse order

I'm having some troubles with my HP C4380 all-in-one printer. It used to work well, both on two windows xp machines (one usb, the other wifi) and on linux (through wifi CUPS).
Now, when i try to print a document (e.g. 2 pages) it starts to print it 3x times (e.g. it prints 6 pages) and in reverse order (so it's actually printing pages 2-2-2-1-1-1). I get this behavior both on wifi and on usb machines. I didn't try Linux but i think it worked last time.
I tried to reinstall the drivers, but nothing changed.
This is a screenshot of the printer queue:

How do I save pdf pages in reverse order

Order of pages on sheet reversed!

I'm printing a multi page PDF, 2 pages per paper sheet, side by side across the width of a landscape oriented A4. The problem is, Preview forces the order of pages to be reversed, ie page 1 is on the right and page 2 is on the left!
I have modified ALL the settings for the print dialog, and it continues to place these pages in reverse order per sheet!
can anyone else replicate this?
I want each sheet to be like an open book. You start on the top left, read the left half of the A4, then you move over to the second half - the most logical way to do it but Preview is not playing nice!

ok, 3 seconds after writing that post, and after about an hour of fiddling I have got what I need and it seems only by accident!
I tried it one more time, and this time i forgot to click "landscape" orientation - and it printed the pages the correct order! that makes NO sense!!
if I'm choosing landscape-2pagespersheet, it prints landscape and reverses the order of the sheets, but if I choose portrait-2pagespersheet, it prints it landscape but in the right order!! all i can say is ***?

When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work. I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector. The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.
It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
Thank!

Pages in Reverse Order

I accidently scanned in 138 pages in reverse order! Is there any way to get this in correct order without laboriously moving the last page to first, etc. Or using Document menu and insert in dnew doc page by page?

You can use JavaScript to move the pages within the PDF. See the example in the Acrobat JS API Reference.

Once printed how do you fold a pdf so that pages are in reading order?

Once printed how do you fold a pdf so that pages are in reading order?

I think I'm not following you. In my opinion, PDFs can't be folded; and whether pages are in reading order or not cannot be changed by the free Reader.

Putting pdf pages in chronological order

I have several documents in one pdf folder that are dated. I would like to put these documents in chronological order by date, how do I do that? I also got a message that some of the content is not editable because it was scanned. So, if I export this to a Word document, how do I put the pages in chronological order?
Thank you,
Slspencer

Use your OS's file browser/explorer to sort the files (in the folder) by date.
Rename each. Top down put a numeric prefix in place.
000-filename
001-filename
nnn-filename
Open Acrobat and use the "Combine" feature to combine the files into a single PDF.
An option available with the Combine feature is to have Bookmarks used. Tick this choice.
The single, new PDF is created. Save it.
Open this PDF file's Bookmark pane. There'll be a bookmark for each of the files.
The order of Bookmarks and the order of PDF pages reflects the order you set when you renamed the source files (a date sort).
Note that you could manually position the order of files to be combined in the Combine dialog.
I find it easier and quicker to add the prefix to the source files.
Using Acrobat XI you'd process the new, single PDF through OCR.
As some of the PDF pages already have renderable text they cannot undergo OCR.
Acrobat will alert you of this when it comes to the first of such pages.
Just tick the box in the lower left. This tells Acrobat to ignore any upcoming pages that cannot be OCRd and to keep on truck'n to OCR the page that hold the scanned image.
Now, use Acrobat XI to export the the PDF to the Word file you want.
(File :: Save As Other :: <make the desired choice> )
Do not expect a 1:1 export. You have a diverse collection of source files.
While you might get 1:1 if ALL the PDFs combined were well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant with 14.8 of ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1) you don't have that.
So --- To be expected — cleanup of the content in the Word file.
Be well...

Wrong PDF page size in Excel

When I use PDFMaker to "print" the print area of one particular spreadsheet, the Adobe PDF page size is 11.18 x 14.47 inches.
When I use Adobe PDF printer, the Adope PDF page size is 8.5 x 11.0.
Excel Page size = Letter (8.5 x 11.0)
Excel Page orientation = Portrait
Excel Page Parameter = Fit print area to 1 page x 1 page
Selected Printer = Adobe PDF
Selected Paper size in Adobe PDF dialog boxes = Letter
Selected Paper size in PDFMaker Preferences = Letter
When I change the Excel Page Size to Tabloid (11 x 17):
Adobe PDF printer creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Adobe PDF Maker creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Can anyone shed light on the problem experienced by PDFMaker on the Letter sized request?
I am running:
Windows XP, SP3
MS Excel 2007
Acrobat 9.1.2
PDFMOfficeAddin.dll version 9.1.0.0
PDFMExcel.dll version 9.1.0.0

Hello everyone!
It's been long since this topic was active but I just wanted to share my solution to a similar problem.
I was trying to use the built-in Save as PDF function of Excel 2007 and my sheet which also had some headers and footers was not coming out correctly.
From Page Layout tab, I clicked the small icon on the corner of the Page Setup. Then I clicked the Header/Footer tab and removed the tick next to where it says "Scale with document" and viola! I miraculously could export my sheet in the correct page size.
May this be helpful to not just who have had this problem before, but also the ones that will come afterwards!
Cheers!

Scanned items show up in REVERSE order

HP, please be more desriptive. I read previous posts and still cannot fix.
When I scan a 5 page document, 1-5, it shows up on my MAC 10.9 in the order 5-1.
One of your posts says in the "Copy" settings on the printer to change to "Collate On", then save default.
I did this and it still shows up in the wrong order.
I scan large documents everyday and need to have in correct order.
Please help and be very specific!!!!
Thank you,
Terry

Hello tryii223,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document, then scans are showing in reverse order. Just to clarify this issue, I need to ask you some question:
I need to find out what type of printer do you have? Click here to find out: Model Number.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the scanner glass or automatic document feeder? If you're using the automatic document feeder, are you placing these pages 1-5 or 5-1?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further. Have a great night!
I worked on behalf of HP.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.
