    need help with this one...i have a 2 page pdf to print. on page 1 i need to print 5 sheets of one stock and on page 2 i need to print 5 pages of another stock. i need to have these two sets of 5 print alternately. anyone know how to set this up? if i use exception pages, is there a way to have it go to a qty of 500 automatically?
    freeflow vs 9.0
    thanks!

    Well you might copy so that your PDF has 10 pages, the first is your "page 1" and the last 5 is your "page 2"
    then tell freeflow to print 1-5 on a stock and 6-10 on another stock...?

    oh dear. this might not help you.

    the way I would do it, is to make a postscript file and call each page a separate name, pulled by "color"

    Im not sure of a way to do it with pdf. I have had a pdf once where it was emergency, and I did this by copy the file a bunch of times. and making two separate queues and dropping the copies in respectively based on the sheet. :/ but it was a small amount....
