How to Duplicate Pages?

[ckuhlmann]

Hello,

Is it possible to have an action that takes page 1 and 2 and duplicates them? I though I figured it out with "add pages" but it requires you to pick a secondary pdf.

example:

1 2 3 4 5 6

to

1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6

Don't think there is any way to do this with an action unless you duplicate the entire file first and then use the "add pages" to grab certain pages from one copy and paste into the other.

You could probably automate this using a workflow-tool like Switch.

Yeah I will be running through switch.

There is a way that you can do this with PitStop 13 update 1 using the new cut/copy/paste functionality.
Basically you would need to add blank pages where you need the new page content, and then copy the content from the original page and then paste it to the new location.

I did something similar in one of the PitStop webinars where I cut all the odd pages and pasted them onto the even pages on a new layer, the idea was to show the way that pages backed up.

Drop me a mail and some test files if you would like to try this.
