Printing out specific pages from a PDF file? Help

[gizmo1990]

Does anyone know if its possible to print out a specific sequence (in one go of course) of pages from a pdf document? ie 2, 4, 15, 18 etc

Word manages to have this feature but I can't seem to make acrobat do it and its driving me nuts! All you can do is specify a range of pages and then say if you want odd or even pages printed.

Perhaps theres some other program that allows more flexibility in how you print out pdf docs?

Any help appreciated.

which version of Acrobat you using ?, just looked in 5 and "print selected pages" is greyed out on the print screen, think you need to upgrade/buy the "pro" version for that

I have Windows ver. 7 pro on my work laptop and it only gives the options "All", "Current View", Current Page" & "Pages From - To" with subset options of "All in range", "Odd Pages Only" & "Even Pages Only". So unless I'm missing something I'd say no.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Sounds like its not possible from what Fei Fong Wong is saying.

Though it seems the function was maybe in an earlier pro version?

It is most annoying that this can't be done. I'd explain the reason why I want to do it but would get quite confusing! Suffice to say I'd need the function so I can print out a guide with multiple pages on one page and on both sides!

Anyone know if there are ways of getting this done through additional software, ie not using acrobat? Can pdfs be loaded into Word maybe or other pdf readers?

I was talking about the greyed out bit

Aha!

Thanks David you made me query the issue again and it can be done!

You can do it by selecting the pages pane on the left of the screen and then ctrl selecting the pages you want to print!

I'm just trying it now! 8)

Urgh!

Just realised I'd need to also control the 'order' that my pages are printed out and I reckon thats impossible.

Sod it, I'm just going to print the lot out and do without having pages on each side!

The best laid plans eh!
