Printing double-sided documents

If your printer supports printing on both sides of a page, you can print double-sided directly from the application. If your printer doesn’t support double-sided printing, you can still print double-sided manually.

If a file contains printing codes specifying that it is to be printed double-sided, but you want to print single-sided, you can override the codes.

You can also print a document in a booklet style. When you divide pages to print in a booklet style (with pages folded in half), you can print with the pages numbered and ordered automatically.

The booklet option is available only when the document has divided pages.
 
In order to print a booklet properly, the physical page must be subdivided into two logical pages. For information about dividing pages, see “Specifying single-sided or double-sided pages for a document.”
