Check your printer documentation to see what features your printer supports. In the Print dialog box, enable Print on both sides of paper, and choose an edge to flip.

Acrobat Reader Help | Print PDFs To the top Why can’t I print my document? Start with these troubleshooting tips Printing problems can have various causes. To identify the issue, start with this helpful tech note: Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader The PDF is password protected, and printing is not allowed If you receive a password-protected PDF, enter the designated password to print the document. Some protected documents have restrictions that prevent you from printing, editing, or copying content in the document. If a document has restrictions on printing, contact the PDF author. (Windows only) Protected Mode is interfering The default Protected Mode greatly enhances the security of Acrobat Reader DC. To determine if Protected Mode is interfering with printing, temporarily disable it. Right-click the document, and choose Document Properties. Click Advanced to view if protected mode is enabled. To disable protected mode, choose Edit > Preferences and click Security (Enhanced) on the left. Deselect Enable Protected Mode At Startup.

To the top Simulate overprinting of inks Overprint simulation approximates how blending and overprinting of colored artwork looks when printed on an offset press. You can simulate the effects of overprinting on a color desktop printer by selecting Simulate Overprinting in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box. Overprint simulation converts spot colors to process colors for printing. If you intend to use a file for final output, do not select Simulate Overprinting. Acrobat Reader Help | Print PDFs Note: Color printers vary greatly in color reproduction quality. For that reason, proofs from a service provider are the best way to verify the final output. Three overlapping circles without overprinting (left) compared to three overlapping circles with overprinting (right). To the top What should I do if Acrobat Reader DC is asking to save a file when a document is printed? In case Acrobat Reader DC is prompting to save a file when you click Print, then click Advanced print dialog and deselect the Print to File option. Note: Make sure that you have selected a physical printer to print upon and not Adobe PDFXPS/Send note or any other virtual printer. Print to File option was available on Print dialog itself until Acrobat 10.X versions. To the top What should I do to print comments available on the PDF document? There are certain annotations (example: pop-up notes) which are available on the PDF document and the annotations do not print by default unless you want them to be printed. This has been intentionally designed so that such annotations do not hinder the view of the content available behind them. However, there may be cases when you do want them to be printed. To print the pop-up notes and other annotations: 1. Go to Edit > Preferences. 2. Select Commenting from the Categories list. 3. Enable the option Print Notes And Pop-ups. To the top Acrobat Reader DC crashes on printing / Acrobat Reader DC does not Print after clicking Print button This could happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue, ensure that you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader DC/ Acrobat DC application. Acrobat Reader Help | Print PDFs If you are seeing this issue with the latest version: 1. Uninstall Acrobat Reader DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility. 2. Reinstall Acrobat Reader DC.

To the top Reflow text in a PDF Acrobat Reader Help | Accessibility features You can reflow a PDF to temporarily present it as a single column that is the width of the document pane. This reflow view can make the document easier to read on a mobile device or magnified on a standard monitor, without scrolling horizontally to read the text. To reflow text, choose View > Zoom > Reflow. In most cases, only readable text appears in the reflow view. Text that does not reflow includes forms, comments, digital signature fields, and page artifacts, such as page numbers, headers, and footers. Pages that contain both readable text and form or digital signature fields do not reflow. Vertical text reflows horizontally. Note: You cannot save, edit, or print a document while it is in Reflow view. To the top Additional information Setting your preferences to enhance onscreen viewing.
