I need help, please! I am printing a 2-sided document (landscape) and the second page is printing upside down! How can I fix this?

Thanks!

If you have a landscape file and print it duplex with flip on long edge the backside is upside down.
Select flip on short edge.

Are both sides tiny or only one?
If only one side the problem is either caused by the printer driver or printer itself.

Both sides are tiny. Someone else in my office can print the document to the same printer just fine but I can't.

Thanks!

Have you looked at the properties for your selected printer?

On the Acrobat Print UI, click on the 'Properties' button next to the selected printer, work through the tabs for the printer and see if there is an option for like "Binding Option". For the "portrait" mode you turn the page on the long edge, for 'landscape' you turn the page on the short edge. But you flip the page in portrait mode on the short edge and on the long edge for the landscape mode.

When you change the orientation mode of the page, you also need to change the binding edge.

You also need to check the paper size, source, scaling and layout settings for Acrobat and your selected printer.
