These questions are about the avoidance of duplex printing. To give some context, imagine that there are 14 pages in a document. The first four must be non-duplex. The next five are to be given to one person, and may optionally be or not be duplex. The next five are to be given to another person. So these five must be separated from the previous five, but within that five, may optionally be or not be duplex. This PDF will be made from my PostScript, but somebody else, who should be assumed non-expert, will be doing the printing. The PostScript Reference manual describes << ... /Duplex false >> setpagedevice 1. Can a PDF have an equivalent setting, and if distilled with Adobe Distiller, does it correctly inherit it from the PostScript? 2. What does /Duplex false mean? 2a. Does it require only that this page must be recto? In which case, if the following page does not specify /Duplex false, the following page can be the verso to this page’s non-duplex recto? In which case the first of each person’s five pages should be /Duplex false, and the subsequent unspecified. 2b. Or does /Duplex false require that this page must be recto, and also require that the verso must be blank. If so, how does one start a new ‘duplex group’? Or perhaps these things are not well specified, or not reliably implemented to specification. Thank you.
