I’m trying to print out this massive comic collection—we're talking 7,000 pages, which is roughly 1,900 sheets of paper. I can't figure out how to get the page that's supposed to be read first onto the right-hand side of the sheet.

I want two comic pages per sheet of standard letter paper. Since the speech bubbles and the art are designed to be read from right to left, I need the layout to follow that flow—meaning you read the right page first, then the left one.

Is there some software out there with decent printing options that can actually handle this? I thought about just renaming every single file to swap their order in the macOS print menu, but with 7,000 pages, that's a complete waste of my time.

I finally figured out how to fix this mess. I just rotated all the photos 180 degrees and printed them out normally 😁 .

Look, I’m a total klutz so this is just how I figured it out 😁

I just tried it again with fewer .jpg files, but man, it was still pretty sluggish because those photo files are massive.

So, I went into macOS and highlighted all the images in one folder.

Check it out right here how

I sent the whole batch to a virtual printer to generate a PDF file.

Once you get that PDF, open it up in Adobe Acrobat, send it to your print driver (I used Print to PDF), and make sure you check the box for reverse pages.

After that, hit the Properties tab and select Pages per Sheet—set it to 2.

Boom. You'll have the exact PDF you were looking for (reversed and with 2 images per page).

That's pretty much it.

Enjoy your mango! 🙂
