I wish to create what is apparently called a "come & go" PDF document - it can be read from either end, one English the other French. The French half is flipped vertically so the booklet is symmetrical. (I am starting with 2 Quark files, but I'm convinced Quark can't handle this easily, so I'm turning to Acrobat.)

I thought Distiller would do this, but I may not understand what distiller is meant to do. It seems to only convert and save, it cannot manipulate. Is this because I have the basic version of Distiller? Or perhaps it is one component of a suite of Acrobat products?

Recommendations?
 
Distiller is the program that converts a postscript file to a PDF. What you need is ACROBAT which is a bit different. However, once you have made your PDFs, you can open them in Acrobat and do a number of page manipulations. For example, you can insert, extract, replace, delete or rotate pages, change the order and a number of other moves. These are all under the 'Document' menu in Acrobat. So make your Quark docs into PDFs with Distiller, then open Acrobat and do what you need to get the format you want.
