Printing to adobe PDF selected pages are randomly changing orientation

When I am printing selected pages from an Adobe PDF (ie. pages 1 to 5, 8,10 and 12) that I complied from multiple single page adobe files, the pages are being turned 90° counter or colckwise randomly.  If I print all the pages, the orientation is perfect.  I am printing to the "Adobe PDF" printer.

 

I am using Adobe DC pro Version 2021.001.20155 with Windows 10

Awesome!  Thank you all for the comments.  We will be using organize pages and extract to do this now.  This is an easy fix to our problem.  Thank you again.

It's an outdated process.

This document, made by PDF gurus, explains why you should never refry a PDF:

    For clarity's sake - you are printing from a PDF to a PDF?  Is there a reason that you are doing this if that's so?  If you want a PDF  that has some, but not all of the pages of your source document, you might want to try the Extract Pages feature to see if you get better results.

    My best,

    Dave
