Abode Reader question - two-sided printing with multiple pages on one sheet

Factual Questions
1

How do I go about printing on both sides of the paper, with 4 pages per sheet in Adobe Reader? If I set the number of pages per sheet to be 4, and chooses the print range to be just the “even pages”, then I will get page 2, 4, 6, 8 on one side, which is not what I want. Is there anyway to get Adobe to print page 1, 2, 3, 4 one on side, then 5,6,7 and 8 on the other side?

I could do it manually…but is there a better choice?

2

how many pages do you want to do? you might just have to go with:

1-4,9-12,17-20…

3

I think we are talking about 100-pages ++ behemoth here.

4

Could you write a script that can print out the page numbers for you? If not, I’ll try and whip up something quick on my end and see if that works.

5

I am not sure how to do scripting for Abode Reader…or for Windows in general. Are there are any resources I can refer to?
