Hi, I'm not positive about your specific needs, but generally some combination of the Unix utilities psbook and psnup will do the kind of layouts you describe. You create a normal postscript file then use psbook to rearrange the page order, then use psnup to put 2, 4, or 8 pages onto 1 page. That might be a good place to start.
Hope that helps, Russ On Fri, Jan 09, 2004 at 11:05:03AM -0000, Ralph Little wrote: > Hi, > I know that this is really a Ghostscript/Tex type of questions, but > given the context, I wondered if you guys had any experience in this > area. > > I'm considering getting an A3 duplex laser printer to print multi-page > parts. > Now, as long as the output is for up to 4 pages, then it is just a case > of printing 2 pages per sheet on two sides. > However, for more pages, it gets a bit more complicated. > > For 8 pages, it will require 2 A3 sheets: sheet 1 will have pages 1,8 > and 2,7 and sheet 2 will have pages 3,6 and 4,5, with sheet 2 folded and > inserted inside sheet 1. > > Our LaserJet 4050TN has a booklet option which does this automatically, > when using the Windoze printer driver. > > It seems like a standard kind of thing to want to do.
