Acrobat 8 printing problems

I am using a month-old Dell Optiplex GX620.

I can't say that Acrobat 8 always "works fine" I am having a devil of a time figuring out why I can print duplex consistently with Acrobat 6, but not with Acrobat 7 or 8.

I was unable to get Acrobat 7 to print duplex at all, period. With Acrobat 8, sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. I have checked the printer setups repeatedly and despite having the same exact printer settings, sometimes Acrobat 8 will print duplex and sometimes it won't. I have tried soft-booting and hard-booting.

I'm having issues with Acrobat 8 just shutting down when trying to print. It prints nothing and closes Acrobat. Any suggestions?

Apparently the windose version of A8 works fine (refr: Adobe engineering manager).

same here, Acrobat reader 8 has this last-page-in-mirror problem while 7 works fine

KENSTER8, (or anyone else...) did you get any help for your Acro8 printing issues? I can't print to laserprinter, job just disappears. If I send job to a RIP, it comes out WAY wrong...(seperations wrong, etc.) Acro7 works fine. (THANK LORD)....

Hmmm...just realized this topic is pretty new...so I doubt anyone has an answer yet....this Acro update may have been rushed...having issues with Ps CS3 now too...not good...

Jack,
I believe by "update" he was referring to 8.0 from 7.0.

I just checked the "Check for updates" from the A8 Help menu and it says there are "no updates available". So, what "update" did you install?

A8 prints just fine as long as I don't use "duplex" printing for an odd number of pages... etc, etc. (I'm on OS X 10.4.9)

Can't print duplex? That's ok, I can't print anything at all from Acrobat 8. I now have eight non-functioning licenses for Acrobat 8 and have blown an equal amount on plug-in updates that don't work right, either...
I actually had to change the permissions of 8 to 'no access' so the "Open with Acrobat 7.0.9" setting in Get Info actually works and doesn't launch v.8 anyway.. or else I stare endlessly at the beachball...
But on the PC, you're required to remove all previous versions before installing, so I'll probably have to reinstall Acrobat 7 there.
I definitely installed this update too soon and I recommend you find a guinea pig to iron out the bugs before installing it yourself. All things considered, this one was one of the most difficult, time-consuming and costly pieces of software I have installed since the days before Jaguar.
I'm sure updates will fix this, but I wish they'd wait a little longer to release something that works and not be so worried about rushing to release the next paid upgrade.

When I choose 2 pages per sheet via 'Layout', I am having the problem of mirror images after the first pair of pages (1 sheet). When I choose 'multiple pages' via 'Scaling', printing simply stops after the first pair of pages (1 sheet), and the image prints much smaller. (I only tried the 'Scaling' route on the LaserJet below.) Relaunching Acrobat did not help.

Adobe Acrobat 8.0.0
MacBook, OS 10.4.9
2 printers tried: LaserJet 1200 and Epson Stylus CX7800

Is there any way to know ifanyone at Adobe paying attention to this?

Look how many months later and still no update. Still some .pdf's that I try to print with on my networked hp laserjet 3052 print, while others do not. I end up having to go preview and printing them in there.
