Why is only one side printed so I can read it?

The product is Adobe Reader version 17.012.20095.

A PDF file that I have downloaded from the Internet, is only printed with ASCII characters

on one side.  The second side is mostly printed with print codes that make no since to me.

Why is this happening, and how can I get the Adobe Reader to print both sides so I can

read the information that has been sent to me?

    I have since been able to trace the problem to a Windows 7 Printer driver.

    After deleting this s/w and reinstalling it, my Printer is now doing what its suppose to.

    Hi The-Wasp,

    In addition to what ~grafitti has suggested, would it be possible if you can share the pdf file with us?

    You may share the link for the file using Adobe's send and Track.

    Go to this link: https://cloud.acrobat.com/send

    Click on Add Files > Choose Files from My Computer

    Select the pdf file > Create Link

    Thanks,

    Shivam

    I'm sorry, but going the way you suggest is new to me and I therefore

    couldn't load the file of

    interest there, so I added as an attachment to this e-mail.

    The last time I tried to print both sides, page 1 came out OK.

    But then when I tried to print page 2, my HP Printer went on strike and

    refuses to print the

    second side for some reason.

    I tried reloading the Printer Drivers but that didn't help either.

    Is there something about this .pdf file that could be the cause for my

    problem?

    Could be a font issue in the pdf itself causing this.

    Try this, go to File>Print>Advanced and choose "Print as image" and see if that clears it up.
