Reader Version: 15.023.20070.19033

This version of reader now prints the page bottom out first; the opposite of the older versions!

The older version printed the top of the page out first as Microsoft Word does.

So what happens, since I print on both sides, if I forget to rotate the page it gets printed upside down - not good!

How do I fix this?

Correct answer torisemo

Michael,

Take a look at the attached, in particular where I have drawn the red arrow.

Would you check to see if it matters whether the Auto portrait/landscape is checked or the Portrait button is checked. I think this might be happening because I have the Auto print button checked.

Sincerely,

Hi Torisimo,

Sorry, I've been traveling internationally and haven't had access to a printer to investigate this any deeper. I still believe this is a function of the printer itself and not Reader, but I'll do some experiments to see.

Im guessing you have blank forms in the paper tray, and now suddenly the forms are printed upside down? Or is there some other factor that makes page direction critical?

Hi Torisemo,

I did some quick experiments on my system - I printed both Word, Acrobat and Reader, and all three (completely different documents) came out of the printer with the top edge first.

One thought comes to mind - in Reader, you are able to rotate the view of a document (for example if it was scanned upside down) but this does not change the actual document (only the view). Is your document upside down when you first open it? Are you using the rotate view tool?

Dear Torisemo,

The order of printing is usually a function of the printer driver. When you print from Reader, choose "Properties" next to the printer selection, and adjust your printer settings there.

Please!

This has nothing to do with the printer settings. This has to do with Adobe changing how a correctly displayed document in the printer mode is turned upside down when it is printed. It used to print correctly in older versions. It used to print correctly like Word documents.

I print one sheet at a time and then turn the sheet over and print on the back side so I know what I am talking about. I have been doing this for more than twenty-five years. Now if I forget to turn the output around before printing on the back it is upside down. Instead of the top of the page coming out first – the correct way the bottom comes out first.

Take and old version of Adobe and the new version and compare the outputs.

Sincerely,

Terry Holmes
