PDF + Duplex Printing?

CLAWS · 15 May 2008 at 15:48

Hi Folks

Is it possible to print a PDF in duplex mode? We have a duplex printer but try as I might I am unable to find an option in Adobe Reader OR Adobe Writer to allow me to print in duplex.

I thought this might be a problem with how the PDF was created so I opened up a word document and went into Adobe Conversion Settings. There are no such properties in there to tick which would allow duplex printing on the resulting PDF.

Am I missing something? Im sure its probably something fundamental. Any help much appreciated as always

When I do duplex printing on the printer at work, I set the duplex option in the printer preferences, not the Adobe print preferences page.

There should be a properties button next to where you select which printer to use. In there you should find the preferences for your printer and a duplex option in there.

Ok just checked the printer we're trying to print to and noticed it does not have the duplexing hardware and duplexing isnt even enabled on it.

Guess that explains it

If you don't mind black and white you can send it to a photocopier?

Most should do duplex.

Bingo!
