Reorder and Invert pages

Hello,
 
I've been asked to create a manual containing both English and Chinese content. The English will be at the front of the manual and the Chinese should be inverted and reordered so it starts right after the back cover. I can invert the pages, but I'm not sure how to reorder them so the front matter of the Chinese version starts immediately after the back cover.
 
Can anyone help with this? The source files are in Framemaker and I'm using Acrobat 9.3.4 on Windows 7 64-bit machine.
 
Thanks.
Susan

Are you looking for something other than manually using the Page navigation to move the pages?

By invert, do you mean that you need to reverse the page order?
If so, I recommend the following:
- Extract the Chinese part to a new file (Document - Extract Pages), and delete them from the original.
- Run this code on the new file with just the Chinese pages from the JavaScript Console (Ctrl+J):
for (i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--) this.movePage(i);
-Now combine the original English pages with this new, reveresed file, and you're done.
