Hello,
I'm working on a 7 page document with multiple text fields. The 1st 2 pages are text fields that are Set up to auto-fill labels on the remaining pages (these are auction labels for teh local fish club) I would like to script a set of buttons that can be used to print only specific pages. i.e. one button prints pgs 1-3, (the info pages adn the corresponding labels on teh first page) without printing any remaining pages that have no data filled in. Is this something that can be done?

It should be possible, using either multiple calls to print() or by extracting the pages to a new document and then printing that one.

Jep,
I ment that it is not possible to make in ONE print queue
with Acrobat Reader, ie. you want to print some pages
as new pdf document...
This is definitely a serious limitation in javascript printing.
Of course if one uses Acrobat Standard or Pro, one can just
make the extraction and print, as you suggested.

I guess what i'm trying to do is I have a document that is 7 pages. The first two are where you enter teh data. The other 5 are labels that go on auction items. If you only have 20 items and print all 7 pages you are wasting the last 3 pages. I want to be able to print for example pages 1 through 3 or pages 1 through 4 depending on how many items one has

You can print a range of pages. The JavaScript print fucntion includes inputs for a start and stop page number. Here's the code for printing pages 1 thru 4
In JavaScript the page numbers are 0 based, so page 4 on the UI is page 3 in JavaScript.
