Using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a - how do I print  PDF files double-sided.  I can print Word documents etc. this way but do not seem to have the option when opening a PDF file.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
You might experiment with a page or two first.
1.Choose File > Print.
2.From the Subset pop-up menu in the Print Range area, select Even Pages Only.
3.Click OK or Print.
4.If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank sheet so the final odd page has a sheet to print on.
5.Put the stack of printed paper back into the supply (source) paper tray so that the unprinted sides print. Point the top of the pages toward the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.
6.Choose File > Print and select Odd Pages Only from the Subset menu.
7.Select the Reverse Pages option. In this scenario, the Reverse pages option ensures that the page sequence is correct.
8.Click OK or Print.

  • Printing a package of PDF files double sided

    I am printing a package of PDF files that changes based on how questions are answered, they print double-sided.  I want certain pages to not print on the back of another.  Is there any way to dynamically insert page breaks dependent on the forms included in the package?  Thanks,

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

    I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
    I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
    The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
    I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
    Your help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Erik

    It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
    After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

  • Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

    oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
    we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
    However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
    After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
    Finding (A):-
    (a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
    1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
    2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
    (b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
    1) when web.show_document() is used
    2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
    eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
    Finding (B):-
    (a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
    e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
    (b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
    May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
    So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
    Thanks for your attention.

    Hi,
    It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
    Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
    ct_tline is PDF output:
    DATA: lv_pdfsource TYPE xstring.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS:<p> TYPE x. " <p> type any.
    LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
      ASSIGN cs_tline TO <p> CASTING TYPE x.
      CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource <p> INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
    ENDLOOP.
    * ->Create spool request in PDF format
    CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'
      EXPORTING
        printer  = 'LOCL'            "Printer name supporting PDF device type
    *   DEST     =

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

    I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
    I would appreciate any help with this problem.
    Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
    I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

    This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them.  Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file.  If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
    This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
    Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

  • Adobe Reader v 11.0.10 cannot print PDF files

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader v11.0.10 running on Windows 8 Pro with Media Center cannot print anymore.
    I used to be able to print from Adobe Reader before.
    I still can print to all printers using other applications – Word, Excel, Notepad.
    I can print a test page on any of my printers without any problems.
    I can print PDF files using other PDF viewers (like Foxit reader), but I can’t print from Adobe Reader.
    There is no error message on the screen and there is no any error message in the log files.
    If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once.
    But any consecutive attempt to print will fail!
    Any ideas what could be the problem?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I go to File --> Print menu.
    As I always do.
    It used to work before.
    I haven't tried "Print as image" option, but I'll try it and post the result!
    I will try also unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' option under Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)
    As I mentioned in my previous post I tried re-installing Adobe Reader - but no luck :
    "If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once."
    I think that the issue is not the particular file - it has something to do with Adobe Reader itself. Maybe it is corrupted????
    I'll try again tomorrow and I'll post the result!
    Thank you for your reply!
