How to print specific pages out of a book file

I've searched around but I cannot find any way of printing specific pages out of a book file. Has anyone got any ideas? I have a 100 page book file with 20 files, and doing print outs of sections is a nightmare. I want to be able to print page 5 out of file A and page 6 out of file B together so I can duplex them. I've tried scripting this but I can't seem to set the page range of the print preferences of the book file.

Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

How to print specific pages of a pdf from a vb 2013 program using a print dialog

Hi. I am using the acrobat sdk to display pdfs from within a vb 2013 program, because the pdfs are large and we have developed indexes on certain columns. The indexes are stored in SQL tables. My program has a search window which allows the user to search for a value and displays all the pages on which this value appears in the indexed column in a listbox. By double-clicking on the desired value in the listbox, the user can go to the selected page and column. However, the user also needs to be able to highlight one or more of the pages in the listbox and print these pages. I could do this silently using AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages, but the user also needs to have a print dialog displayed in order to possibly select a watermark to be printed on the pages. I also need to default the orientation of the pages depending on the document.
I have reviewed the sdk documentation and also searched in Google and on this site but have not found a way to do this. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Print specific pages in sections of book

I want to print two sections of my book, but i don't want to print all pages in either section. When i use the "print selected documents" the page range is greyed out. Is there a way to print these duplex pages without having to print it in it's entirety? For instance: INDD #1 has three pages (numbered 1 to 3). INDD #2 has three pages (numbered 4 to 6). I only want to print duplex pages of 3 and 4. Is that possible? Please advise. Thanks in advance for your help.
kind regards
k

I don't believe so. You could print to PDF (or to postscript file, then distill) and perhaps print the selected pages from the PDF, but I suspect you'd still need to place them into a new document to get the spread. There's no way ID is going to directly make a spread from pages in separate files.

How to print specific lines out of a Tail - N command.

Hello,
Here is my problem. Within a web application, one of the menu is supposed to do the following:
Check the n lastest lines of a file (a log file in fact) and print the lines that only contain "ADD" or "DEL"
I don't know how to do it ! Please, help !!

This should get you started, it's a java version of tail which takes multiple files and there roll extension and runs forever (hopefully!).

How can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

how can i print specific pages against searched word or name (in one print command) from 1000 pages

Thanks, Alex!
ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
End Sub
is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
Sub PrintPages()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Pages:="2-3"
End Sub
printer print all pages.
what do you think?
regards,
Italo

Say i've a register page for a event page, i want to email blast that. how do i make that page available to user without a OPRID?, just like any other webpage?

You could create a user with only the grant to read that page.
Then configure the automatic login with this user of a specific web profile (and webserver) or if it is available for the current one used.

Can anyone explain to me how to print a page of Thumbnails of the same picture, for wallet photos?

In the print window select a print size that would allow many of the same photos on the page. Click the Customize button and under settings select Multiple of the same photo per page. In this screen shot I selected a size of 2x2.
Adjust the print size to get the number of photos per page that you want.
