I think something link
texexec --pdfarra --noduplex --paper=A5A4 --print=2SIDE yourdocument.pdf
should work. There is more information about in the the manual for texexec www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mtexexec.pdf

I have a pdf file with 660 letter-size pages. I would like to save toner in my printer by printing 2 or 4 pages in one single sheet of paper.
Is it possible to do this with context? or any other alternative?
Remember, I don't have the source file, only the pdf file.
thank you
Ciro

As usually, not a direct answer...
Play with these script
%%
%% save it as test.tex
%%
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\dorecurse{660}%
{\startTEXpage[width=3cm,height=2cm]
\vbox to \vsize{\vss
\hbox to \hsize{\hss\framed[width=2cm,align={middle,lohi},background=color,backgroundcolor=green]{p.\tfd\recurselevel}\hss} \vss}
\stopTEXpage}
\stoptext
%% %% save as my-imp.tex %% %% \setuplayout here \starttext \centerline{% \externalfigure[test][page=1] \externalfigure[test][page=3] \externalfigure[test][page=5] \externalfigure[test][page=7] \externalfigure[test][page=9] \externalfigure[test][page=11] } \blank[1cm] \centerline{% \externalfigure[test][page=2] \externalfigure[test][page=4] \externalfigure[test][page=6] \externalfigure[test][page=8] \externalfigure[test][page=10] \externalfigure[test][page=12] } \stoptext
(you can create my-imp.tex by a script and choosing the appropriate number for page=...., also use \setuplayout etc..)
Also look for \setuparranging.
