This entry explains how to reverse the order of Adobe Arcrobat PDF Pages. The process is not to hard, just kind of tricky to find.

How to Reverse the Order of Adobe Acrobat PDF Pages

Open Adobe Acrobat
Go to File
Find the PDF File in which you would like to reverse the pages
Now press CTRL+P or Apple+P to open a print dialog box
Check mark reverse pages (This will be under the print range section)
Now select the drop down menu under Printer
Adobe PDF
Hit the Ok button
Now save the document

Your pages will now be reversed for you from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

I hope this helps, if you know a quicker way leave a comment.

Personally I set my defaults on my printer to print in reverse order. This way *all* my multi-page documents print in reverse order. When I collect the completed print outs, the last page is at the bottom of the pile and the first page is at the top.

How to do this will change for each printer, but in M$ Windows essentially if you go to <Control Panel> <Printers and Faxes> [Rick click your Printer] <Properties> <Printing Preferences>. From here you need to find the option to print in reverse order. Of the different printer drivers installed on my PC one says 'Reverse order' (Epson), another says 'Print last page first' (Lexmark), so your specific wording may vary.

Once you have set things as you wish, click the <OK> button and the settings will be applied for all printing jobs on any program as a default.

This may not be the speediest method for one printout, but once applied, it will affect all your printouts and make things easier in the long run.

Whilst the above guidelines are for M$ Windows, I would assume that a similar methods applies to all operating systems.

amazing issues altogether, you picked up an alternative readership. What could everyone suggest approximately your own post that you really produced a week in past times? Almost any confident?
