Printing scanned music 2:1

I'm new on the forum, and I apologize for what is probably a silly noob question, but here goes: I have a bunch of sheet music that is scanned and saved as PDF files. What I would like to do, when I print the music, is to print two 8.5 X 11 pages onto one 11X17 paper. The caveat to this is that some parts may be an odd number of pages long, so I would not be able to just say "print every 2 pages onto 1". While I realize that in some instances this may be labor intensive and thus prohibitive, I really have no clue how to even think about doing it. Any advice anyone can give me about doing this in Acrobat natively, or through plugins / 3rd party tools would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Jerry

P.S. - I use Acrobat 8.1.2 pro on Vista x64.

This is a job for imposition !

I would start by suggesting you look at a few third party plug-ins - here are two that offer free trials;

I am most familar with PDFSnake, as I bundle this with several scan to PDF solution from IoFlex and ELAN GMK.
