booklet prints every other page upside down

Community Beginner ,

When I try to print a booklet, every other page prints upside down. I've set it up as f&b, short edge bind, legal/landscape, with booklet selected.

Set your Page Orientation to Portrait NOT Landscape.  This had me going also.  This info should be in Adobe's Basic Printing Tasks page Basic PDF printing tasks, Acrobat, Reader

I also found a separate solution because setting it to portrait didn't fix the issue for me. If you're working on a Mac, you have to go into the Mac Printer settings>Finishing>short edge binding (top). Screenshot 2025-01-23 at 9.51.07 AM.png

YES! This turned out to be the solution for me (Mac OS X, Brother Printer). I tried everything on this page, and it wasn't until I saw this and used the actual Brother driver instead of generic that I was able to get it to work. Thank you!

Printing with Adobe on Brother Printer and Generic PCL Driver was the issue for me to.  Even installed the Brother Printer driver and still had problems!

SOLUTION: Remove the printer with the generic pcl driver, install Brother Driver, re-add printer, and enjoy success.

This issue is still happening 2-20-25. I haven't printed a booklet for I'd say at least a year and ran into this problem which never happened to me until now. Thank you AceFrog for figuring this out- changing to portrait worked. I don't have a Mac, but thanks for the heads up DANIEL5FBE.
