Why has the double sided option disappeared when I try to print a PDF?

Both my home printer and my printer at work seem to have lost the More Settings option in Print which allowed you to select double sided, this is only happening with PDF printing - not sure why?  Screen shot below - can anyone help??

Hi Rachelg,

Screenshot shows that you are printing PDF online using web browser. Most of the web browsers uses its own PDF viewer, specially chrome. Adobe Acrobat is not playing any role here. 

If you have installed Adobe Acrobat or free Reader then first download this file and save locally on your computer. Open it using Acrobat and then Print.

If your printer supports double-sided printing then it would allow you to print double sided. Print double-sided | Adobe Acrobat, Reader DC
