I have a single page PDF that contains a small form at the top half of the page. I want to insert data into the form. That's easy. But I would like to take this form and copy it to the bottom half of the page so the document is "two up" when I have more than one document to print. There's nothing else on the form. Is this possible? What commands should I be looking at?

Thanks,

Bob

BTW, I have been looking at CapturePage and DrawCapturedPage, but that does not seem to work if there is only one page in the document. What am I missing?

From the CapturePage documentation:

"Also, because a document must have at least one page at all times it is not possible to capture a page if it is the only page in the document. In this case, you must add a new blank page before the existing page can be captured."

So you should add a new blank page to your 1 page document, then capture the first page.
