To specify settings for printing a PDF form

To print a PDF form, you can specify the settings in the form design, instead of placing the effort on the user to properly configure the print job. For example, you can select the number of copies to print and single-sided or double-sided printing or select page scaling options. These settings are automatically applied when the user prints the form.

Note: Specifying settings for printing is recommended only for form designs saved as Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF forms or Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML forms.
  1. Select File > Form Properties.

  2. Click the PDF Print Options tab and select Use These Print Settings for Printing This PDF Form.

  3. Select the number of copies to print.

  4. Select one of the following options for duplex printing. To print double-sided, the selected printer must support duplex printing.

    • To print on one side of the paper, select Simplex.

    • To print on both sides of the paper where the paper flips along the long edge, select Duplex Flip Long Edge.

    • To print on both sides of the paper where the paper flips along the short edge, select Duplex Flip Short Edge.
