Well, I've been working my way through the PDF::Reuse docs, and it seems fine at creating pdf's I can read with my gui reader. But so far I haven't figured out how to hold me mouth to get the copy to print over my templates. I keep getting blank pages with the copy instead.

Weird! When I used PDF::Reuse I only did for page extraction and merging of documents, with nothing added to the pages, but the print was fine.

Depending on the OS you're in, you could try to work it around:

• in Windows, try to install PDFCreator and use the PDF printer that comes along. It could hopefully produce a cleaned up version that you can then hard-print successfully.
• in Linux or similar, try to convert to postscript with pdf2ps or something like this, and see if the print is ok.

Well... that's what I would try :)
