How to Pring a multipage PDF document to different printer trays

Hi,

I need to print a 10 page PDF document with pages 1-2 going to tray 1 to print on blue papers and Pages 3 to 10 to pring on green paper on tray2.

How can this be done?

Currently I'm loading the pdf in a webbrowser control and just printing. but the webbrowser control has no way of setting printer settings for the tray or paper selection.

Any components under $400-500 range that can do paper tray selection on the fly when printing a multipage document?

Please help. 

Thank You!

You can use the automation server built into Adobe Reader on windows to programmatically achieve this. 
From my limited testing and what I have read this is a little flacky so wouldn't be suggested for large volumes (I'd love for someone to prove me wrong on this).

The 2 commercial products that may work are:

PDFPrint Command Line v2.0

Note: I tested the 30 day trial about a year ago and couldn't get it to work.  The support staff at VeryPDF were very good ... but couldn't solve my problem.

3-Heights™ PDF Printer and Printer Pro API
http://www.pdf-tools.com/asp/products.asp?name=PRNA
I used the free demo and it worked perfectly.
I haven't purchased a license yet but when my project gets to this stage I will buy a license (unless a cheaper option pops up before I'm finished!!)

Let me know of any other options you find.
