>>Hi all,
>>
>>I have a bunch of PDF files that need to be printed thru my customized software, the customized software knows the address where it needs to mail so I want the address to print on the backside. So basically my program will print the PDF and then duplex it and print the address on the back. If it was printing 2 foxpro reports I know this is totally doable but here I'm printing a PDF file and somehow I have to duplex it and make it print my report on the backside.

>I'll assume you're working with a printer that can duplex print. By default, if duplexing is enabled, the printer will only duplex print a single document/print job. So, saying that printing 2 VFP reports is totally doable is not true; by default you'd get 2 separate pages printed on one side of each.

Thanks Al, going to look into option #2.
