    PDF Print Dialog Presets are not honored - Duplex and others

    RTSMikeM Community Member

      Using Acrobat 10.1.5.33 and also Adobe Reader XI.

       

      When I open a PDF that has embedded print dialog presets, those presets are not transferred properly to the Print dialog.

      Here are the settings directly from the PDF:

       

      /ViewerPreferences<</Duplex /DuplexFlipShortEdge /PickTrayByPDFSize false>>

       

      If I view the PDF Document properties it shows up under the Advanced tab as DuplexMode : DuplexFlipShortEdge

       

      However, when you go to print the PDF, the "Print on Both Sides of Paper" check box is NOT checked automatically.

      Also the sub item "Flip on Short Edge" is of course not selected.

       

      What's the secret to getting Acrobat to recogize these settings?

      It looks like a bug to me.
