Whenever I try to do two-sided printing using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, an empty page is on the back of page 1, causing pages 2&3 to be printed on the same sheet, pages 4&5 printed together, etc. Normally, the page order would be pages 1&2 printed together on the same sheet, then pages 3&4, and so on.
I tried two-sided printing using the Preview app on my Macbook Pro, and the page order is not messed up. Therefore I believe the issue is with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, not my HP printer.
Here are the settings I implemented in Adobe:
There is no difference whether I chose "Media & Quality" or "Layout" as seen in the two screenshots below. The issue remains.
Please let me know how I can fix this problem. Thanks.

My guess would be, you have an odd number of pages and are printing the last page first.

I have exactly the same problem. I think Abambo is right that it is because the document contains an odd number of pages, but this is clearly a bug that is causing Acrobat to add the blank page at the start, and not the end of the document.

I had the exact same issue. I had an even number of pages and adobe was adding that blank page causing all the pages to be mixed up! What I did was silly but it worked!
On the first screen, on the section "Pages to print" I clicked on "more options" and selected "reverse pages". This caused to start printing by the end and everything came out perfectly and for some reason there was no blank page at all
