We have a problem, we have a preset printer (Xerox altalink 8155, new driver) that prints on recycled paper landscape, black and white, 2 pages per paper and double sided and flips to the long side. but when i print the paper order is 2-1, 4-3, 6-5, 8-7. I want it to be on 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, etc. other programs have no problem - Edge, Chrome. only Adobe Reader has the problem.

The page binding might be set to Right Edge instead of Left Edge. Is this document written in an RTL language (Hebrew, Arabic) by any chance? Also, do you have Acrobat or just the free Reader?

What settings are you using when printing?

I don't change any settings, I just select the type of printer (we have preset printers, Color, black and white, two-sided and one-sided, then special printer settings and see the first post) and print straight away. Works fine in Word, Chrome and Edge. And when I have the PDF file open in Adobe Acrobat Reader and I click on the print page icon. I select the printer set (black and white, double sided and I normally print one side per paper) and then I select multiple pages, I put the number of pages per sheet: 2, then the pages are aligned: horizontally, I select double sided, flip on the long edge. then portrait orientation. and click Print. and it only prints blank paper, it doesn't print anything there.
