Question

Prevent printing two sided

Hello.   Is there a way to edit/save a PDF document in Acrobat (Standard or Pro) that would not allow our customers to print double sided?  In other words....

We send a 5 page affidavit to a customer/contact via email.  The customer needs to print out the document we sent them.  But when they are printing a PDF that we sent them, they are printing the document double-sided. 

I have no visions of trying to manage customer computers to restrict 2-sided printing. 

Is there any way to save the PDF in Acrobat Std or Pro that would keep others from printing on two sides of piece of paper? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Check the document's File > Properties > Advanced tab

There are options there for Print Dialog Preset

Then in the Security tab, you can try to add a password to allow printing but not changes. To be tested... Let us know if that works for you
