How can I fix this problem? Acrobat duplicates my pages when I flatten images.

I am using the 2017 Acrobat Pro DC version on a Mac (Sierra OS). When I flatten images using the following steps, Acrobat duplicates most of the pages in my document so that it is almost twice as long.

Print Production > Flattener Preview > All pages in document > Apply

How do I make it stop duplicating? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat.

in my case removing tags and flattening specific pages (from 1-40) did the trick

Unusual. Do the pages contain form fields or similar?

These pages are created without form fields. They are just printable PDFs. The first two pages are not duplicated but all of the rest are.
