Hi Alex,
Apologies for the confusion and yes you did understand the requirement perfectly I think initially.
I have confused you as I don't understand how page numbering works I guess. When I said for the front page report start with 1 and increment by 2, I was expecting this would give me 1, 3, 5, 7 etc 1, 1+2, 1+2+2, 1+2+2+2 and on the back page report 2,4,6,8 as 2, 2+2, 2+2+2, 2+2+2+2. The two PDF reports when combined by a merge tool would then give me the correct output, i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... I don't see how you get 1,2,3,5,7 for the front page report!
