Hi All,

I have a form that is downloaded by customers and MUST be printed single-sided or it causes all sorts of trouble. Is there a way in Acrobat to pre-set some of the page set-up or print parameters?

Cheers

David

You can set a particular document to default to single-sided printing by going to Document Properties, choosing the Advanced tab, and then under Print Dialog Presets, setting DuplexMode to Simplex. Then press OK and save the document.

Note that this will not prevent the user from changing the setting in the print dialog to duplex if their printer supports duplex printing.
