Acrobat Printing Double-Sided in spite of OS settings

Acrobat was refusing to respect my desire for single-sided prints, despite "2-sided" being unchecked in the Printer's dialog.

Solution: check and uncheck the setting from within Acrobat:

Print>Printer>(dismiss warning)>check/uncheck 2 Sided

Although every other app was printing single-sided, Acrobat didn't recognize the setting until it was done from within Acrobat.

You have to do this EVERY TIME you print a new job after restarting the application. Acrobat Pro does not retain this setting..

That's how defaults are defined. What you edit there is the printer's dialogue. Your default seams to be for duplex printing.

No, this is a bug. The default is defined in the OS print dialog. 2-sided remains unchecked, and all other apps respect it.

The OS dialog 2-sided checkbox has to be checked, then unchecked from within Adobe Acrobat Pro whenever the app is restarted.
