How to Make Double-Sided Documents in Acrobat

Print double-sided documents on your duplex printer by changing a print option.

Double-sided documents are efficient from both a cost standpoint and an environmental perspective. Another perk to double-sided documents is that they are considerably slimmer and more manageable than their single-sided counterparts. In order to print a double-sided document in Acrobat, you have to open the file that you want to make double-sided and change a setting in the Print Options window.

Instructions

1. Open the document that you want to print in the Adobe Acrobat application.

2. Click "File" in the menu bar and then click "Print."

3. Choose your two-sided printer from the drop-down menu next to the "Name:" heading.

4. Click the "Properties" button in the print window.

5. Click the "Layout" tab and click the "Print on Both Sides" option.

6. Click "OK" to save your printer settings.

7. Click "OK" again to print the document.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't see an option for double-sided printing and you're sure that your printer supports double-sided printing, then you should download and install the latest driver updates for your printer.
