Variable Job + Combining files

Hi!

I'm working on a raffle tickets job for a customer. We placed as PDF the tickets on InDesign and pulled the numbers from a CSV file.

After creating the merged document, the InDesign file now has 600 pages with 10 tickets per page.

The problem comes when those tickets have a "back". That means that page 1 is the front and page 2 will be the back... and so on. Uneven numbers will be the front and even numbers will be the back.

How can I add the backs to the InDesign file without doing it manually. Or maybe this is something I can do on Acrobat?

The back file only has 1 page.

Thank you!

    Have a look at this post: Need script to insert pages with specified master

    In your merged file, create a new master page that represents the back page. Then run the script in the post linked above, and when the script asks "what master" choose the master that was just made.

    If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!
