I use psutils regularly to impose 8.5 x 11 music into a saddle stitched booklet on 11 x 17 paper. Here is my linux script, which is called with script1a issue where issue is a file named issue.pdf -------------------------------------------------------- psbook $1.ps $1b.ps echo 'psnup' psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps echo 'psselect' psselect -o $1p.ps $1o.ps psselect -e -r $1p.ps $1e.ps #lpr $1o.ps #echo 'switch paper' #read x #lpr $1e.ps #rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps -------------------------------------------------- Windows has a less capable command line interface so you would have to substitute "issue" for each occurrence of "$1". -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
