1. Acrobat Pro Print Dialog Keeps Defaulting to 2 Copies

   My issue appears similar to the unaddressed Dec. 2025 report titled “the printing window always shows up with 2 copies preset to print.” I am adding my case because the issue is still occurring in Acrobat Pro: the print dialog permanently defaults to 2 copies even after changing it back to 1.
   This appears to have started after I printed 2 copies once, and Acrobat now treats that as the permanent default. This is only happening in Acrobat; Word and other programs still default to 1 copy, so it does not appear to be a printer-driver default.
   I have tried manually changing the number back to 1, closing and reopening Acrobat, restarting the computer, opening different PDFs, checking printer properties, and using “Reset All Settings” in the printer properties window, but Acrobat still returns to 2 copies every time I open the print dialog.
   It would be very helpful if Acrobat either respected the system printer default or provided a clear way to reset the saved copy count back to 1.

2. Printing PDFs from macOS 26 hit and miss

   Printing some forms and documents from Acrobat Pro works while others don't. The application opens the printer (HP M454dw with the latest firmware), but then never prints and never generates an error message.
   However, printing the same document that fails to print in Acrobat Pro works in the free version of Acrobat Reader.
   It also works with Apple's Preview app. Only the Pro version of Acrobat seems to experience a problem

4. Long-Standing Bug: "Rely on System Fonts Only" Resets After Every Major Update

   I am writing to formally report a bug that has persisted across multiple versions of Adobe Acrobat and affects virtually every professional user in business environments.
   The Problem
   After every major Acrobat update, the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" setting in the Adobe PDF printer resets to checked, causing print-to-PDF jobs to fail and generate error log files instead of PDF output. The only resolution is to manually uncheck the setting after each update, either through Printing Preferences or Printer Defaults.
   This has been documented in Adobe community forums dating back well over four years, with multiple threads accumulating thousands of views and no permanent resolution offered.
   The Scope
   This is not a fringe issue. It affects the core professional user base — businesses running ERP systems, accounting software, and document-intensive workflows that rely on embedded or custom fonts. In my own organization, every single user experiences this problem after each update without exception. The raw user count submitting complaints likely understates the real impact because many users simply fix it manually each time without reporting it.
   The Fix Is Straightforward
   The solution is a standard save-and-restore pattern that is common practice in software updates across the industry. Before overwriting the printer driver during an update, read and store the user's existing preference values, complete the update, then reapply the saved values. This is a well-understood, minimal-effort engineering task. The setting is explicitly user-configurable, has a documented history of causing widespread disruption, and there is no valid reason for an update to override it.
   Request
   I am asking Adobe engineering to implement preference preservation for this setting as part of the standard update process. This is a straightforward fix that would permanently resolve a years-long pain point for your paying professional customers.
   Thank you for your attention to this issue.

5. copies field too narrow

   The Copies field Acrobat's Print setup window is too narrow to accommodate three digits; it only shows two (even though it will capture three digits.) Widen the field so it will accommodate three digits.

6. Double sided failure

   Double sided printing prints on short side no matter what option I choose or my paralegal, on a separate machine, chooses. No problem using Preview. Acrobat is now useless to us.

7. Adobe PDF Converter Printing Preferences need to stop resetting after update

   There is an existing similar request/report from 2021 that has yet to be addressed, but I voted for it and will post this to help it along

   I am trying to use the Adobe PDF printer with Driver Adobe PDF Converter in a production environment. I have set up an Adobe Output Folder, unchecked “View PDF results”, unchecked “Rely on system fonts”, and set up a custom Paper Size. I have set these using Print Management, both the Printing Defaults and the Printing Preferences.

   I am told on the Community forum that whenever there is an Acrobat update these settings are reset by design, and I would like that config to be maintained after an update at the very least.

8. Feature request - Add preflight profiles of type kpfx and newest GWG preflight profiles (2022)

   The validation / preflight profiles needs to be up to date.
   Therefore the Acrobat pro Cloud service should include newest GWG profile (2022) - and user should be able to add new kpfx files in future.

9. Adobe with custom font = scranbled and unreadable document. Microsoft free pdf print for the same document = fully legibel pdf print.

   Not sure why a paid subscription version of acrobat performs at a lower level than a free microsoft pdf printer. Acrobat needs to be able to understand and read custom fonts added to the windows font directory. If users had to custom locate fonts for every piece of sofware that uses them, work would never get done. Seriously, this is a fail.

10. 25.001.20744 bug : only prints part of page on RICOH printers

    Version Adobe Acrobat Reader : 25.001.20744.0
    Windows version : Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.6584
    Ricoh Printer driver : PCL 6 v3.2.0.0
    When printing on a Ricoh device (tested with both Ricoh IMC3000 and Ricoh MPC3003) only a part of the page is printed when you print to scale or fitting.
    same document printed right on previous acrobat version.
    Tested on 2 computers give the same problem.
    Document also prints ok if "print as image" is selected.

11. Acrobat Pro no longer recognizes HP PCL 6 Printer Driver paper size changes

    Acrobat Pro no longer recognizes changes to the paper size made in the HP Universal Printing PCL 6 drivers.

    When I change the paper size in the Printer Properties dialog for the PCL 6 printer, Acrobat's print dialog no longer recognizes the new paper size and no longer changes the preview to indicate the new size. This is reproducible 100% of the time.

    I had been using an older PCL 6 driver (7.0.0.24832) for years, and about four months ago an update to Acrobat caused this behavior to start. Every Acrobat version since has had the same issue. I am currently running 2025.001.21223, which is the latest Acrobat version. After the issue started, I decided it was time to upgrade the HP driver to the latest version. I installed HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v7.9.0) and the problem disappeared for a couple of weeks. I could once again change the paper size and Acrobat would adjust. Then the problem occurred with the new driver as well. I can no longer get the page size to change in Acrobat through the driver. I suspect I will have to uninstall the driver and reinstall it to get it to work. Some setting is getting corrupted. Not sure why, but since the HP Driver didn't get update before the problem started, I believe it is an Acrobat issue.

12. Printing ignores clipping (bug)

    Adobe bug reporting wouldn’t allow me to post images and files. All are at
    Cross link to similar report at https://github.com/jdaw1/placemat/issues/171

    Consider the PDF placemats. Observe lots of complicated clipping. This was printed successfully from Adobe inside Chrome, but unsuccessfully from Adobe desktop app — major failure of clipping.

    First image is of the Sandeman circle on the first page, as correctly converted to bitmap by GraphicConverter.

    Next is as correctly printed from within Chrome version; Version 137.0.7151.120 (Official Build) (64-bit).

    Then as wrongly printed from Adobe Acrobat 2025.001.20531, 64-bit.

    In both cases, printed to a OKI C822 printer using the OKI C822 (PCL) driver with OKI Network extensions 1.6.0.

13. Can't Print due to "InvalidFont" Error

    PDFs only print the first 1/3 of the document with latest Adobe version (2026.001.21431) on Mac (26.3.1 (a)).
    Using HP Color LaserJet MFP M283fdw with latest firmware (20251014).
    When I turned POSRSCRIPT Error printing on, the printer was able to tell me why it quit partway through the document.
    "POSTSCRIPT Warning
    Subsystem: PARSER
    Warning: PDFSender_Interp.c
    Line Number: 1794
    Error Information: Reported by PDL
    invalidfont"

    Same error prints out for every occurance of the issue. Error occurs for all PDF documents printed using Acrobat. Error does not occur when using a browser to view/print the PDF.

18. How to stop the "Double sided print" option from automatically turning on?

    I have wasted so much paper because of this ****** bug. Printing double sided should never ever be automatic or the default setting. I turn it off all of the time, and even went into settings to disable double sided book printing, yet it still randomly turns it back on. This has to stop.
