This is possible using the Context version of TeX. If the multiple pdf pages of the Scribus output were imported into a Context file then perhaps it could be done. I will inquire. I do a half page booklet or a full page pdf for online use for the same file. set a command line switch to control the layout. Here is a code fragment: ----------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] %% \startnotmode[online] \setuplayout[textwidth=4.25in, location=middle, footer=10pt, header=0pt, backspace=.75in, textheight=8in, marking=on] \stopnotmode \startmode[hal] \definepapersize[halff][width=5.5in,height=8.5in] \definepapersize[ful][width=8.5in,height=11in] \setuppapersize[halff][ful] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] \stopmode %% \startmode[online] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuplayout[textwidth 7in,marking=off,textheight=9.5in] \stopmode %% ------------------------------------------------------ -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
