How can I default my copy number to 1. Somehow mine changed to 38 and I have tried all I can find to fix it. I even deleated adobe and reinstalled and it still defaults to 38. If I print from word or google it does not.

Did you ever find a solution? I am having the same issue. I have also checked the advanced printer options and the printer settings profiles and everything is set to 1 copy.  In my case, Acrobat will change the default number of copies to 3. No other programs are doing this when I print something.

That’s odd! It is like the default print settings in Adobe might have been changed. Try going to Print > Advanced and check if the copies setting is stuck there shades conroe tx. Also, resetting Adobe’s preferences (by holding Shift + Ctrl while launching) might help.

What is your OS and printer?

@karen_1255 wow.... that's insane! Sometimes, printers have their own default settings for the number of copies. Check your printer's properties or preferences (usually accessible through the Print dialog box or the control panel) and see if there's a setting for default copies. Is it possible that an outdated or corrupted printer driver could be causing this issue. Try updating or reinstalling your printer driver. 

Also, Acrobat allows you to save custom print settings as presets. Check if there's a preset with 38 copies as the default. You can manage presets in Acrobat's Print dialog box (look for an option like "Print Presets" or "Advanced Print Setup"). https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/using/advanced-pdf-print-settings.html
