How to double-side print a 3 page document?

[Frankmtl]

So I have a 3-page PDF form for 96 owners whom will get a copy.

I want to print (and minimize the time) page 1 (1 sheet) and pages 2 and 3 on another sheet double-sided for a total of 2 sheets.

If I print normal order  I get pages 1/2 double sided sheet  and page 3 one side sheet.

Reversing the order alas I get page 3 one side sheet and pages 2/1 as double sided sheet.

Long way taking extra time would be to print  page 1 alone (96 times) and then pages 2 and 3 double sided another 96 times.

Any way to print In one go?

Thanks!

Hi,

From the Printing Preferences screen select Print on both Sides within the Layout tab, then check the required binding for a Booklet printing:

This will print two pages per sheet on both sides as the illustrate shows.

Being on a Mac, only similar option is to select Print as Booklet but all this does is set 2 pages on one, side-by-side beginning with pages 1 and 2.

Guess I'll do it the "long" way.

Thanks ShlomiL

Easiest way would be to print a single sided page, reload the paper to print the second side. Simply select to print current page only so that only one page prints at a time.

So that would require 2 trips to the printer.

I simply unselect page 1 in the print dialogue, and print pages 2/3 double sided. Then, deselect page 2 and 3 to print page 1 single sided.

Thanks anyways, Repairatrooper.

I may have misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. Adding a blank page to the document after page one and duplexing everything would be another option, but it sounds like you figured out a solution.

Wait a minute..that's bloody brilliant, trooper! Slide in a blank page would yield exactly what I want. A little bit of work at first but printing is cut short in one go.

Thank you!!!
