I have CC full suite and from the day I had to install Adobe Acrobat Pro DC I have been unable to print locally from any open PDF. I have tried multiple fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I've updated the printer drivers and had my IT support look at it. And now that this program is embedded in everything, I can't event go back to Acrobat XI. If I'm lucky I can export the PDF as an image or word document and print from there, but if I'm looking at document that's large that is just simply not a valid workaround. In this day and age, this shouldn't even be an issue

Currently Adobe Acrobat DC does not recognise if the default printer setting on my mac has been set to duplex. There is a work around. By pressing the printer button and selecting 'duplex' from the print dialogue box that is revealed, pdfs can be printed double sided (DC warns against doing this by the way). The trouble is that it is easy to forget to follow this process, particularly when I am in a hurry, with the result that pdfs, in my case often 20 or 30 pages documents, are printed single sided. This wastes paper, is environmentally unfriendly and negates the whole reason for setting the default to double sided. I have many applications on my mac and Adobe applications (it's not just DC) are the only ones that don't recognise the duplex default setting. Please feel free to contact me if you require further information.

Synopsis:
A) Please fix duplexing such that page one of a document always begins on the front of a sheet of paper. This means a the back page of an odd-numbered document should be blank.

B) Please let the Collate button both be visible regardless of the number of copies and let it have a default and/or remembered setting. The combination of it being initially invisible and the defaulting to the less-desirable setting results in wasted printed material.

Detail:
This is a consistent problem that sprung into existence about a year ago, near as I can tell on both Acrobat DC and Reader for Mac.

OS: It occurs on every install I have (4 different Macs, various versions of OSX but reasonably updated over that timeframe).

Printers: this occurs on every printer in the organization. All are Brother laser printers. At least 5 different models.

Duplex printing generates output that is unexpected, and unworkably so, in these situations.

Odd number of pages. Say you print a 3-page document, Copies = 2, Duplex on, Collate on.

Sheet: front page/back page. Expected output from the printer:

Sheet one: 1/2
Sheet two: 3/blank
Sheet three: 1/2
Sheet four: 3/blank

Actual output is:

Sheet one: 1/2
Sheet two: 3/1
Sheet three: 2/3

Why anyone would actually want this output is beyond me. That said, even if it was somehow desirable, why would it be the default. The only workaround I have found is to either add a blank page to the document to make it an even number of pages, or to print 1 copy many times. This is woefully inefficient.

Collation also causes this problem. Specifically, the Collate checkbox does not appear until the number of copies is increased beyond 1. Then the Collate box appear, but always unchecked. If you do not notice this, then your duplex output will be:

Sheet one: 1/1
Sheet two: 2/2

Also a wasteful default behavior, both in terms of paper and ink, but also in terms of time.

While there might be some sensible reason for both of these behaviors, I cannot fathom it. What I do know is that they product unexpected default results that are different than how other programs print and different than how Acrobat behaved until about 1 year ago.

In my office we have user codes we use when printing. The code is saved into the print driver of each user. When printing from Adobe we are forced to click "properties" before every print, even if we don't need to make any setting changes. If you do not click properties, the user code embedded into the driver is not sent with the print job and it fails with an authentication error at the printer. This is a common problem with many applications. Google Chrome has added the ability to turn off their print preview, and it has solved the issue. MS Edge is useless to me because of this problem. Please add this functionality.
