I am using MacBook Pro (updated) and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and standard inkjet printer at home.
I've noticed that my printer keeps printing the first page double-sided with a blank page because it prints the first page firstly. Normally, page 1 and page 2 will be printed double-sided together, but my page 2 goes with page 3, and page 4 with page 5, and so on, leaving page 1 alone.
I have left the "reverse pages" unselected. It happens only when I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC built-in print feature. How can I solve it?

I, too, have the same issue, but only when printing from Adobe Acrobat Reader, the only Adobe product I use. I don't have this issue when using any other Apple, Microsoft, or Google product. It's not me...it's you, Adobe.
Hi Adobe. When do we get an official update about this matter? It's clear that many mane people have issues and it is clear these issues have been there for a very long time. Any worthy company would solve this matter so why aren't you?
The issue is being fixed for Acrobat DC and fix is in progress for Adobe Reader DC. We are making sure that fix for Adobe Reader DC also reaches our customers soon.
Let's hope so. Having to add 1 blank page everytime when my adobe file is uneven is starting to get embarrasing, not only for me and my cliënts but also for Adobe. It is tremendously hard to understand why this is all taking such a long time, people have been complaning for years about this matter. Still nothing has changed. I just can't see to grasp how a respected company like Adobe is leaving this in the fridge for such a long time. It can't be so hard to fix right? or is it? And what is 'soon', because it has been 'soon' for months now.
If this was a problem on Windows, it would have been fixed within a couple months. One can only assume, given the huge delay, they don't think Mac users matter much.
Which I find quite strange because OSX always has been linked to adobeproducts. Sometimes I wonder whether the Adobe-team is sleeping through this or what is exactually going on. I see this as a dark page in my experience with adobe. And I guess many agree with me.
Sometime ago, I realized that Adobe is not interested in fixing this problem for Mac users. I switched to Apple Preview as my default PDF viewer. It works fine.
And me thinking Apple people were all in to Adobe and Adobe was all into Apple. There is nothing professional about how they are handling this case. As a matter a fact, I am quite astonished (haha) how people have to wait for more than 6 years for a fix. When actually more than 6 weeks would already be outrageous 😂. Anyone from Adobe who is reading this, congratulations with the truly #epicfail. I expected more from such a well established and high rated company as yours.
