Is it possible to set up number of page copies (for each page) during pdf creation?

For example, I want to have 1 pdf with 3 unique pages. And I want that when user presses Print button - printer creates (for ex.) 2 copies of the 1st page, 10 copies of the 2nd page, and 1 copy of the 3rd page?

Why I'm asking: we have server that produce pdf file, some pages of file should be printed different number of times. Users get this file throw web-interface. If we will create pdf with duplicated pages - size of result pdf file will be huge, and users will not be able to download it.

Are there any ways to optimize it? As I asked - to set up number of copies for each page; or (may be) to create custom plugin for Acrobat Reader to customize printing; or smth else?

Thanks.

You would have to create a button to perform the printing operation and then use JavaScript within the button to control the number times each page is printed. Because a user could still use the "File => Print" or the toolbar print button, you might want to add a "Will Print" action to see if your print button was not used and issue a warning and possibly display a warning on the printed document.
