Great.  What a wondeful tool to rebuild a pdf file the way you want.  All I had
to do was: `apt-get install pdfjam' (pdflatex is already installed on my
system); then I got what I wanted with:

 $ pdfnup --nup 2x1 --paper a4paper --noautoscale true --delta "1cm 0cm" 
--pages 13-20 --outfile output.pdf ~/input.pdf

The option `--noautoscale' set to the value `true' avoided the reduction, which
is what I wanted.

But now, suppose instead that, for another job, I wish to scale it at my
pleasure: is it not possible?

Thanks
Rodolfo

I think the scale is applied to the whole page, so text and images are 
reduced at the same time and at the same factor ;-(

I needed this recently, and I believe the answer at 
 
was the hint I needed.

Print two pages per sheet, one side

[Rodolfo Medina]

Hi to all Debian users.

I wish to print a large pdf document two pages per A4 sheet one side only, but:

1) I want that the text side is not reduced, since I checked it is small
   enough to fit in the sheet the size it is;

2) I want to print it first into another pdf file before sending it to a
   printer.

Is it possible to achieve that, and how?

Thanks for any help
Rodolfo
