May have come up on here before. Tripped over it "somewhere else".

Under Window>Automation>Scripts>Application>Samples>JavaScript. Indy CS3/CS4.

...am wondering whether there might also be a Script for bringing each page in twice, say for spreads. Then another for offsetting LHPs, RHPs...then Export new PDFs to non-spreads. Makes me motivated to try and learn Scripting. But the wheel may have been invented on those ones, maybe. For further investigation.

I know in that script there is a line to offset the page (just look for the line that has (0,0) in it), so you could get it where you'd want to be. I've done that for alot of jobs. Not sure about doing it twice for left side, right side, but theoretically, I'll bet it can be done.

Use step and repeat for multiple versions of a page. There are a few other scripts over on Adobe Studio Exchange too.

Thanks for the positive thoughts on this, Detric_1. That would be something to watch...having that happen on a Script. We get quite a few very printable PDFs, where the only thing wrong is the "spreads disease".. 

Welcome to b4p, too.
