Set Simplex/Duplex Print for Adobe Reader documents

[Douglas_Willis@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I'm developing documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro that our users will open with Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher. I need to set the Simplex/Duplex print parameters individually by each document.

I've tried adding trusted javascript in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts directory. I can set the number of copies and lastPage properties but no luck with Simplex/Duplex.

my script includes pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipLongEdge;

The Simplex/Duplex works if the document is opened with Adobe Acrobat Pro but not using Adobe Reader 8.0

I see a posting suggesting "Cos level APIs - see the PDF Reference 1.7" but do not find anything in PDF Reference 1.7.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's a bug in Acrobat/Reader 8 that we fixed for Acrobat/Reader 9.

I don't believe anything new was added.
