I’m trying to use Briss to crop out the margins out of screenplays, but I can’t for the life of me get it to crop both even and odd pages.

Here's a link to a sample screenplay:
http://www.raindance.org/site/scripts/127_Hours.pdf

1) I load the document in Briss.
What appears are 2 pages- I think the first are odd number pages, and the second are the evens.

2) I draw a rectangle around the 1st page. A “1″ appears on the shading.

3) But when I draw a rectangle around the 2nd page, another “1″ appears. How do I get it to change to “2″? I draw a second rectangle. It creates a 2, but the original “1″ is still there and I can’t erase it without erasing the “2″ first. How do I erase the “1″ on the second page?

Or, how do I get a “2″ label on on my even page number crop but not “1″?
Does this make sense?

So far, I can get Briss to crop odd pages...or I can get it to crop both even and odd pages, but it duplicates both...so every page is duplicated.

What am I doing wrong?
