Hi everyone. Whenever I print a PDF file with an odd total number of pages, the back of the first sheet stays blank, page 2 is printed on the second sheet. Of course I'm talking about double-sided printing. Why?

Hi @AntonioTheAnt 

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat let you print double-sided if your printer supports that feature. The printer driver controls the options, not Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Check your printer documentation to see what features your printer supports.

 

the print settings in macOS take precedence over the print settings in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. When you try to print double-sided in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, the printer does not print as per the specified settings in Acrobat/Reader. Therefore, you have to configure the print settings using the CUPS admin interface in Mac.

 

For more info. please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-double-sided-acrobat-reader.html and see if that works for you.
