Thank you both for your responses! I'd seen the Sullivan and Quatro book listed on Amazon, but in the description, they say "This book is intended as user reference, not as a training guide.," so I didn't consider purchasing it. For now, I've ordered a used copy of the FrameMaker 9 Classroom in a Book, which I hope will at least get me started. It appears to be the last edition of that book that was printed (as opposed to the version 11 edition that seems only to be available as an ebook).

Can anyone recommend materials like books, videos, or web tutorials for learning FrameMaker that are aimed at beginners? The only book on FrameMaker I could find on Amazon that's been published in the last couple of years is intended to be a reference for experienced FrameMaker users. Everything on the Adobe site seems to be on very specific FrameMaker topics, presented in no particular order, and there are overviews of new features, but nothing to orient a new user. The most recent Classroom in a Book on FrameMaker is for Version 11. I'm inclined to get a copy of that, but I don't know how much may be missing from it. In case it's helpful, my situation is that I'm interested in a career change to become a technical writer, and I've completed a Technical Writing certificate program at the local community college, but there was no exposure to FrameMaker in that course series. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Andy

I have this problem too. I'm using OS X 10.11 and Adobe Reader XI 11.0.13. Every other application on my Mac offers two-sided printing in the print dialog box, but Adobe Reader does not. I can use the "Printer" button in Adobe Reader's print dialog to access the OS' two-sided printing option, and it will print two-sided then, but with the annoying quirk that the back of the first sheet is blank. For example, a document with pages "1", "2", and "3" prints page 1 on the front of the first sheet of paper, nothing on the back of the first sheet of paper, and then page 2 is printed on the front of the second sheet of paper, and 3 on the rear of the second sheet. Does anyone know a way to fix that?
