Adobe Illustrator/Printing from illustrator

Question
Hi, I need help! A work colleague, who is no longer available, created double sided leaflets in illustrator 12. When I open them up, I can see the two pages, both nicely laid out in illustrator. I need to print both these pages, and have tried to figure it out through online help, etc. but haven't figured it. We've tried to save to pdf, but it only ever saves or prints one of the pages. How can we select each page, so as to either export to a pdf to create a 2 page doc, or print from illustrator as a double-sided document?

Thank you for any help/guidance.

Answer
Hi Aisling,

You cannot have two pages in Illustrator 12. What you can do is save the first page as PDF, then take the page tool and reposition your page size over the second page and save out the PDF a second time. You can then combine the two pages in Acrobat and print two sided (dependent on your printer options).

Thanks
