HELP! My Acrobat reader is printing "backward"reverse mirror images. I tried checking and resetting my print properties but I don't have anything set to print other than common eveyday printing. I installed Reader 9.3 update but that did not work either.

This is only affecting pdf printing and not MS Office docs.
Any suggestionsout there?
Thanks
Tony

Reader 9.2, Windows

Perhaps you can provide us with more information about the type of printer you are printing to, driver information, version of Windows, etc.?

Thank you Dov, I was able to resolve this by going into the pdf print properties menu which somehow had been set to "mirror image." I appreciate your taking the time to respond.

Hi Bren Murr. My IT guy fixed it by going into the printing options in the adobe reader options menu rather than the printer dialogue box itself. I had the exact same problem. But I am sorry that since someone else fixed it, I am not sure exactly how he got into that menu. Maybe someone else can help you with that part. I hope this helps.
