I know it's a free product, but I suspect that other products are in the same boat. I have downloaded the PRPG alphas, and printed them out for my group (I have access to a very inexpensive colour laser copier/printer). However, without a spacer page at the beginning the front of the page ends up on the back and the back ends up on the front. I tried to just insert a page into the document and for some reason that is locked down - I can neither extract pages nor insert pages. This seems a rather draconian bit of security on a free product, but I imagine you probably just run them through the exact same process as your non-free material, so I understand. However, for Alpha 3, I'd request that a spacer page be added in (right after the cover) that would allow for printing the whole document without messing up the front/back page issues.
Oh, and I couldn't just print starting at the page after the cover (which would have solved the issue as well) because I couldn't even get it to be the start of the print range. The page was named Table of Contents... and it refused to accept either print range "2-126" (because page 2 was technically the 3rd page of the PDF, but the 2nd page of the publication as the cover didn't count) or "Table of Contents - 126" because it didn't recognize that, somehow.
In any case, I fiddled with it (printed the cover and the next two pages individually with "print current page", ran the 2nd and 3rd pages through the copier in "single-sided to double-side" mode, then printed the rest double-sided). More fiddling than really ought to be required, I think. :)
Anyway, excellent product, just had a b*+!@ of a time getting it printed correctly.
Thanks.
