Print first page on letterhead

How do I print hundreds of copies of a personalized multi-page letter, with the first page on letterhead and the balance on white sheets, using Acrobat?

Umm ... I think that question should be directed to the Adobe Acrobat user forum at Adobe.

Yes, but they're about as useless as (blanks) on a boar. So, I trust one of the geniuses on this forum will have run into the problem and have an answer.

I am not certain what you want here. Acrobat does not print to paper, nor does it generate content except with a lot of effort. If you are generating a PDF with Acrobat so that a printer can print it with the first page on preprinted letterhead, that is usually controlled when it is printed by the multi-tray printer. Alternatively, if you are printing letterhead on the first page as you print the document, you do that in the application that generates the content.

You really need to be more specific.

A lot will depend on your printer driver. Many Postscript printers will have a Paper Feed menu and within this menu is a 'First page from' and 'Remaining pages from' menu. But if your printer is a small consumer model that uses a proprietary driver then this facility may not exist.

Thank you. I suspect yours is the right answer. My printer is a small consumer-level printer and I suspect that it lacks that feature. Memory serves that larger, more professional printers will have a drawer selector feature as part of their driver/menu. I'll look for one.
