After Changing Paper Size - Duplex Flip Is Ignored

Hey!

 

I have an ongoing issue with printing PDFs 2-sided in Acrobat. All of my printing is 2-sided and I use the flip Long/Short depending on if it's a portrait letter, or a landscape postcard.

 

Most of the time, I print to 8.5 x 11 paper. Somtimes, I have to switch to 11 x 17. So I use the standard Properties button in the print dialogue in Acrobat to change the paper size to 11 x 17, I print, and our color printer prints out an 11 x 17 page. .Great! But after printing at 11 x 17, I will then switch back to 8.5 x 11 and this is when the issue happens. Acrobat ignores my setting for flipping Long/Short edge on 2-sided print options . Example, if I have an 8.5 x 11 letter that is portrait, I would want to flip on the long edge. It flips on the short edge, so the back is upside down. The page size is correct, I've set it to 8.5 x 11 and the printer prints to the 8.5 x 11 paper. That's all working. It just ignores the flip setting, long/short.

 

Tried everything I can think of so I'm hoping someone else had this issue and knows of a fix.

 

Windows 10

Acrobat Pro DC 2019.021.20056

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes, the solution was to go to the printer settings in Windows and creating a preset for 8.5 x 11, and then another for 11 x 17. Set the binding options. Save. I moved the 8.5 x 11 preset up to the top to make it the default since that's the paper I use most often. Now, it flips it on the second side correctly.

Hi,

 

Adjust those settings form the operating system printer settings, not from the Acrobat and see if it works.
