There are a number of specialized pieces of software for the Macintosh that do this. These are what are called "PDF Services", and the install into a folder of that name (PDF Services) in the user's Library folder. If there is no such folder, then you may create one. There is a folder by that name in the default OS install, however. You will see the PDF Services themselves in the standard Mac print dialog. There is a button, at the lower left of the print window, which says 'PDF', with a small drop-down arrow/menu. Those items are the items represented in your PDF Services folder. So, I alluded to making 'booklets' in an earlier post, which is generally what we're talking about. I prefer to use a tool called 'CocoaBooklet', which you can get here: <http://www.iconus.ch/fabien/cocoabooklet/> Also, you could use 'Create Booklet', a similarly oriented tool: <http://web.mac.com/vogelbusch/Site/Programs/Programs.html> I can not speak to the differences between, but I have installed and used both of them with success.
