I suspect that any PDF file will do; I've been using a 13 page PDF document.

One big clue is that when one commands Acrobat Reader (7.0.8) to print two copies, the print progress bar passes from 0-100% *twice*. If you "print to file", one sees 26 pages in the PostScript, with no blank page intervening between the two copies of the article. (I hate to think what would happen to our filestore if someone commanded 1000 copies of a large file!)

I have yet to perform the same exercise with the Evince problem - I'm still not sure that that one is not CUPS or my CUPS configuration.
