When you print it to a printer, do you get every page, one-sided?

I don't use Word for Mac, so I'm only making some guesses based on some recent Word (365 for Windows) issues we had with PDF creation.

Check that your document is saved in the current format, and not in compatibility mode if that's even an option in Mac. Ours was a bookmarking issue in PDF, but only running "Convert" the document fixed it.

Check the two areas I can think of that would affect odd versus even printing. Go to Page Setup (for me, it's under Layout on the Ribbon), and see if "different odd and even pages" is checked. There might be an underlying issue there.

When you're doing it through the print option, is there any chance you've selected "Manually Print on Both Sides"? I just tried this, to PDF, and I got a PDF with only every other page, but I also got a dialog box popping up to move the printout from the output tray to the input tray, so that would have probably been a giveaway. But perhaps it's different with your setup.

Can you pass it to another person and see if they get the same results or different?
