Need help with printing issue (SAP involved)

[cgg_1024]

      I have been searching for days for a possible solution both on the SAP and print queue side. We have print jobs that need to be printed on colored paper in a certain order. We buy the paper in order (4 colors per set). The problem is that the first page can run over and require 2 or more pages as do the rest so the colors are no longer correct. The jobs can come out in 4,12,16, etc. I need to figure out a way to have the SAP jobs that land in a Windows print server queue print out in a pre-programmed order. (1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as my brain is pretty much mush right now. Our SAP guys have thrown it back to me saying they can't make it happen on their side.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but I'll give you an idea.  What if the print outs were saved in files.  You can sort the files easily after that you can sent them to printers ?

  It's not the files that are the problem. We need to reorder pages based on the total number of pages in the print job then print them. The output from SAP is PDF format.

Hmm, I still don't exactly understand what your want to achieve, but reordering pages from multiple PDF files seem to be impossible.  Well at least for me, maybe someone else will have an idea...Sorry.

I might have a solution for you.  You could make a script that loads the first file from your PDF print-outs into acrobat reader, print all the pages ONE PAGE AT A TIME in the order of your choice, then close the document, delete the file (or move it to another folder), load the next file, repeat the process until there is no more files in the directory.  You could then have the script to wait for a new file, then it would restart the process.  Auto-it should be able to do it...
