Want to go from the logical sequence of page numbers for 8.5" x 11" pages in a FrameMaker 6 doc to printing 2up on tabloid (11"x17") or larger in printer pair order. Printer's pair order puts p1 with the last page [pL], p2 with pL-1, p3 with pL-2, etc. so that when the tabloid pages are printed back-to-back and saddle stitched in the middle you have appropriate book order for the 8.5" by 11" pages.

To complicate matters, the 8.5" x 11" pages have bleeds. But I prefer crop marks on the 11" x 17", 2up print image.

Is 3rd party software needed? Is there a solution using print-to-file and Acrobat? In my search of documentation and this user forum, I cannot find anything on printer's pairs.
