Trouble printing double-sided in Acrobat X Pro for Mac

I just tried printing for the first time today, and my pages come out single-sided rather than double-sided, though I am using the same settings as before in v. 9. Nothing I do seems to matter. using a Xerox machine (office capacity; don't have the specs handy; a Work-Centre Pro something though). Is anyone experiencing this problem? If so, are there any solutions?
Many thanks,
Jim P

Dear Mamak,
Many thanks for the note.
I followed your advice and dowloaded new drivers for my Canon MF4880dw.
The filename was different than yours, because the model was different.
However, I noticed that this last version I downloaded is pretty new (released in April), so I was hoping it would fix the problem. Also, it was the same file for all versions of Mac OS X from 10.5 through 10.8.
Unfortunately, no luck: Acrobat still does not ask me to scan the reverse side. Maybe I should have uninstalled the printer before reinstalling it?
I more or less solved the problem by scanning double-sided documents on Acrobat 7 for Windows (which I also have installed on my Mac), which is not optimal, but at least works.
Any thoughts?
Thank you again,
Salvatore

  • Acrobat X Pro for Mac fails to scan double-sided

    Hello All,
    I am having trouble in scanning double-sided through Acrobat X Pro with a Canon MF4880dw installed on an iMac with Mountain Lion.
    Here is the procedure I follow:
    File > Create > PDF from scanner
    in the box "Sides", I select "Both Sides" and check the box for "Prompt for scanning more pages".
    When I scan the first side of a multi-page document, I am prompted to indicate whether the scan is complete or I want to scan more pages, but I am NOT prompted to indicate whether I want to scan the other side!
    Turning off the option "Prompt for scanning more pages" has the only result of completing the scanning procedure without asking anything else...
    I found the following note on the on-line help of Acrobat,
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f71.w .html
    Note: You can scan both sides of pages even on scanners that do not themselves support two-sided scanning. When Both Sides is selected, a dialog box appears after the first sides are scanned. You can then reverse the original paper documents in the tray, and select the Scan Reverse Side (Put Reverse Of Sheets) option in that dialog box. This method produces a PDF with all pages in the proper sequence.
    This is indeed what I have always done on a Windows 7 computer with Acrobat 8 and a Samsung multifucntion printer, and never ever had any problem.
    In fact, I believe that the printer model is irrelevant, as this is an internal setting of Acrobat, and that this is a bug in the Acrobat X Pro for Mac, which must be fixed.
    Does anyone else have the same problem?
    Thank you,
    Salvatore

  • Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) PDF Printer Problem

    I have just installed Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) but it did not install a PDF printer,hence when I use other software such as Word etc I cannot find the PDF printer. Has anyone got a fix for this issue
    Thanks

    Hi Sailesh,
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion), Adobe PDF is replaced.
    See the following blog posting:

    Or see this Adobe tech note:

  • Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

    I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

    There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
    If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

  • Reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac

    My Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac disk appears to be corrupted.  I can't get the installation to run.  I have a valid license that I purchased.  How can I get a download of Acrobat Pro 9 Mac installation, or a replacement disk?  I can't find a solution anywhere on Adobe's site.
    Thanks.

    I can find Acrobat 9 for Windows http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-x-10-pro-reader-suite-direct-download-links-ddl.ht ml  but no Mac downloads there.  I'll keep looking.

  • Full version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac - serial number not recognized

    I just bought the full version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac as a download. I installed it, but it does not recognize the serial number which Adobe sent me!! Does anyone know a solution to this bizarre problem?

    Hello again,
    Unfortunately, your suggestion doesn't resolve my problem. I never had an older version of Acrobat (9 or 10) installed on this computer, which is a completely new Mac.
    The only Acrobat package I had previously is the TRIAL version of Acrobat Pro XI ...
    Can you suggest a solution?
    Thank you!

  • All downloaded updates to Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS X fail

    Here's the first error line from the log:
    ./preinstall: AcroPatchInstall:ERROR: Could not create intermediate file /tmp/com.adobe.acrobat.viewer.updater/AppPath. Installation failure.
    How can I recover from this error and install Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS X version 10.1.? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Just to be sure here, are you directly trying to install Acrobat 10.1 patch. Do you have Acrobat X (10.0 or any patched version till 10.0.3) installed on your system. 10.1 Patch can only be applied if you have Acrobat X (10.0 or any patched version till 10.0.3) already installed on your system.
    Also known issues on Acrobat (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html) says Acrobat can not be installed on case sensitive volume. Is your boot volume case sensitive?
    Can you share the entire install log with us. It could be found at "/var/log/install.log".
    Thanks,
    Karan

    Actually, you can and have downloaded from there, because that message only happens when the download is finished.
    The message is entirely normal, and is Apple's way of encouraging the world to use the Mac App Store. That doesn't help you because Acrobat isn't in the Mac App Store - it isn't allowed there.
    So, what to do? Change your system settings
    Please follow the steps given below to resolve this issue -

  • Acrobat XI Pro for Mac saved file not seen in a AFP NAS

    After I save a document through Acrobat XI Pro to NAS in Mac OS 10.8, I can't see the document in that directory by Finder through AFP-protocol , however I can see it through SAMBA-protocol. This never happened before, only after I saved the file through the newly installed Acrobat 11 Pro.

    I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X).  For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file.  I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight. 
    The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display.  Now I can drag pages between documents again.  THANK YOU Josh!
    Oh, and CORREAdmin,  it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel.  Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.
