Full title: PDF created with Adobe Pro will always print with pages in mixed order even when the print view shows that they would be in the right order.

 So, this is super weird. I tried to print today one of my PDF documents which I have created with the Adobe Acrobat Professional, and here is what happened:

Everything looked nice in the print preview but when I printed the document the number one page printed right (aka to the right place as the document cover) but all the pages after that printed in the reverse order, and by reverse order I mean that if we say that in my print review and also in the document itself, the pages are in the order of

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Then in the actual printed from of the document, they are in the order

1, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,

So the last page comes next after the first page, which is the cover of the document.

I checked all the printing settings to make sure that I have no setting on, in the printing process, which could cause this (and remember that the pages and all are in the right order in the print preview view). I also dragged the printing expert of the University I study in to explain to me what is happening, and he also was baffled by all this to the extent that he advised me to make this post to this forum.

And if you think this is weird it will even get weirder from here, so this is the full story of my day at printing documents:

First I arrived to my university with my 3 PDF-documents on my USB memory stick and because I wanted to print these documents as a booklet to a folded A3 size papers, I asked the printing expert of the university to come and show me how its done, which he did. All was good with the first document which printed nicely, and I was very happy with the result, so much so that I even saved the printing settings to the PC, so that next time I was going to print a A4 size pages to a booklet made of folded A3 size papers I wouldn’t need to ask help again.

So the printing expert left at this point, and then I tried to print the next document and then this weird thing happened (the pages were all wrong I mean). Then I went and got the printing expert back there, to explain be when was happening and with his help, we conducted some experiments which I tell you about next.

First I wanted to know is the error happening in the printer and the printing software, so we printed all my 3 PDF-documents with the exactly same printing settings, but only this one document game out wrong. We tried to restart the computer, to eliminate the possibility that there was some weird memory somewhere ghosting and causing problems, but the same thing happened again after the restart.

After our long day of experimenting and vesting a lot of printing paper, we come to the conclusion that the error or problem was in the PDF-document itself, which I had make at hope with the Adobe Acrobat Professional.

In case someone is wondering how exactly I made the PDF which caused so much problems, let me extrapolate: first, at my home, the previous day, I took a real book of my shelf and putted it on the canning apparatus of my HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-one printer. After that I took some scans as photos using the HP Smart software, which is the software for this printer/scanner thing and saved them all to my computer. Next I opened all of the picture files separately in the HP Smart software and with the PDF creation tool of the HP Smart software I created a PDF of the scanned images I had just opened. I first saved the images to my computer and didn’t right away create the PDF because when I open a saved image file, for some reason the HP Smart software makes that image a lot whiter and makes the picture a lot more clear, so that’s why I didn’t make the PDD right away. Then I opened this just made PDF in the Adobe Acrobat Professional and added a cover page to it, from a different PDF document (which was also a scanned image which was made into a one page long PDF with the HP Smart software). So I did this and then I added one empty page between every pages so that there would be some room for notes in the final printed from of the document. After all this I saved my work to my memory stick and went to sleep.

So this is what happened. I would like to attach the actual document there, but because it is a printed out document of one chapter in one of my university math books I think that would be illegal to me to publish the content of their book, and because of that I abtain from doing so.

I would really like to know why this is happening because I would really like to get that document printed right. I guess I can just make the entire document again and hope that this time all the pages come out right, but still, in case others are having this same issue, I’m still making this post.
