I need to publish in paper several scanned pages. How to set Acrobat 7 pro to get a "mirror" pdf output, starting directly from the image file, jpg or bmp?
[I could get mirror pages for press printing in the past, but starting from a Word page containing the image embedded on it]. Thanks!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7, Windows

Oddly enough, Acrobat is the only imaging application in the Adobe Creative Suite that doesn't provide composite E-down (mirror) printing. If your text is all black and you have no color in the file you can print the document as Separations printing only the black plate and control emulsion. If you have color in your file your only workaround is to import the PDF file into Adobe InDesign where you can print composite E-down.

I've been asking for this in Acrobat for years. If you want to see composite E-down printing added to the Advanced Print Setup, select Help > Knowledgebase and submit a feature request to Adobe.ted
