How do I turn off double-sided printing on a Mac? The archives had an answer for this question for a PC but I am using a Mac laptop. Thank you.

On mac computer you can also change the settings to turn off the double sided printing.
You may refer to the help document to see how it works- Print double-sided | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

OK, ive been through this whole thread and nothing works. Adobe have decided I'm only ever going to be able to print double-sided which i don't want. Please, can we have an answer on how to disable this? It cant be that difficult surely?

Actually this isn't correct . See attached image of print screen on MAC there is not place to turn off double sided printing.

You will only get the option to turn Off/On the double sided printing, if your printer support's that.
The picture shared above doesn't show the option to Off/On double sided printing because the printer doesn't support this?

That is not true. I am trying to turn off 2 sided printing. I can turn it off on most other ap's but cannot turn it off on Acrobat Pro DC. It is the only ap that doesn't show a 2 sided option when I open the settings. Yet, it only lets me print 2 sided.

This seems like the wrong answer to me. It has nothing to with the printer. I have a printer that shows me the option to print single sided on my windows pc, but not on my mac.

I agree with you. I can't find the button to turn off double sided printing. Adobe is the only application on which I have this problem. Akanchha - help.

As shared above, that you can not see an option to turn the Off the duplex printing. So is it a problem with all the files that you print in Acrobat or any specific one?
Can you please check the document's properties and see whether the document itself is allowed to print simplex or only duplex?
Open PDF in Acrobat>Right click>Document Properties> Advanced>Printing dialog presets

I have the same problem with my Mac and Adobe.
I checked the document properties as you suggested and "Simplex" is highlighted. The document is printing duplex. This never used to happen before. Help

This issue has NEVER been properly answered. I also can't print single sided. You can't change the settings in properties, but even if I could, it is set correctly to simplex. WHY has this been marked "Answered"? It has been incorrectly answered.

We apologize for the delay in response to your query.
The printer you are working with, if its a work computer then you need to check it with your IT team whether by default it has been set to the duplex or not? If the application's printer settings are correct (as suggested above),then Its a printer configuration issue with the iOS, application itself doesn't have any role in it.
You can try updating Printer Driver as suggested in- Troubleshoot PDF printing in Acrobat and Reader
We can test the same document at our end using the same platform, to check whether the issue is reproducible or not.
