Hi,

I'm probably being ultra dense here (putting on my flame proof
underwear just in case) but is there an easy way of printing pages of a
pdf out of sequence? I know that sounds a litttle odd but let me
explain.

I have a large (500+ Pages) PDF manual I wish to print off, I also have
a printer whicg quite nicely does multiple page printing (2-Up, 4-Up
etc) and also does duplex. If I print an 8 page doc I get (left to
right , top to bottom) 1,2,3,4 then 5,6,7,8 on other side of the paper.
I want to be able to guillotine the A4 sheets into A5 then fold the
sheets to make an A6 booklet. So thusly I need to be able to print the
pages in this order 8,1,6,3,2,7,4,5 so it folds correctly.

Any ideas? I've looked at various applications that do this (fineprint
etc) but the don't seem able to do A6 booklets, only A5!

Any all advice greatly appreciated
