Print each page many time

[JeanGurgle]

Hi there,

I would like to print several time each page in my PDF document.

Example with a PDF with 3 pages

I would like to print page 1, 3 times - page 2, 3 times and page 3, 3 times. And i would like to print like this :

Page 1 - Page 1 - Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 2 - Page 2 - Page 3 - Page 3 - Page 3

Its for PDF with more than 500 pages and i don't want to reorganize all document after, its truly a wast of time.

I tried the "assembled" option, but it doesn't do anything. I suppose that for another functionality.

How can i do this ? If it's exist.

Thanks a lot !!

This cannot be set through the printing dialog of Acrobat nor Reader. This will only work in case your printer driver has the ability to print the document unsorted.

I will check another version of my driver. Actually i don't have it. (Ricoh drivers)

Thanks for your answer radzmar !

In Adobe Acrobat you can duplicate the pages with a script.

You can do it with Reader, but for a 500-pages file it might not work due to a limit of the page range text field in the Print dialog. In order to do it you need to specify the page range like this "1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3".

Another option is to use a script to do it, but that is more complicated.

It looks great, do you have the script ?

Yeah its a bit difficult and not truly automated with the 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 ^^

Thanks

I could write it for you (for a small fee) but in order to be able to use it in Reader you will need to place a script file in a specific folder on the machine. Is that something you can do?
