[Printing hints: from Adobe Acrobat, get to the Print Commands Box (CMD-P on a Mac). The second box should be “Pages to Print.” Leave the “All” button on, but open the “More Options” drop down menu. Instead of “All Pages in Range”, select “Odd Pages Only”, then print.
Once done, take that stack of nine pages, keeping them in order, and re-feed them into the printer for the other side. Recheck the orientation! Then print “Even Pages Only.” Collect and fold, voila!
The process was similar on Mac Pages with the same inkjet printer, but the orientation was different, and the “odd/even pages to print” are under the Print Command Box Pages or Layout dropdowns then the Paper Handling dropdown menu.]
Each is free, no strings attached. Please share if so moved, or if you know a person who like poems.
Thanks!
