I need to print out large documents, 2 pages per sheet, which I need to be able to "flip up" in a booklet on the long edge, and therefore see 4 pages at once.
So, the cover will have pages 1-2. I flip that up, and I'll see pages 3-4 on the back of the first page at the same time I can see 5-6 on the front of the next page. I flip up that and I'll see 7-10. I flip that up, and I see 11-14. You get the idea.
I will give 10,000 points to anyone who can tell me how to do this on a printer that does not have built-in duplex capabilities.
For all the questions I have found about how to do manual duplex printing, the answer is always to just print odd pages, flip the stack, and print the even pages. But that does not address this case, since I am showing to pages per sheet, so what I want the first time through is pages 1-2, 5-6, 9-10. Then I want to flip and print 3-4, 7-8, 11-12, etc. Those aren't simple even/odd divisions. And this document I want to print is about 300 pages (which I am trying to print on 75 sheets of paper), so figuring these ranges and assigning them by typing them in manually is out of the question!
Surely I'm not the only person in the world who needs this?
It seems clear to me that Reader (and Acrobat) need a checkbox for "manual duplexing" much like Word.
