The code you suggested works. However, ran into another problem.

Setup a print style called 2-up which prints 2 pages on one sheet. If I use
the following code it uses the 2-up style but only prints one of the pages
(on the left side), though 2 pages are output in the page range for the
print line (see results below).

Anyone know why this happens?


Code
____

tell application "Acrobat 5.0"

repeat with i from 2 to 3 by 2
print pages first i last (i + 1)
end repeat
end tell



Log events and results
______________________

tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
print pages first 2 last 3
end tell
