Hi Raphael, Manuel,
Many printer drivers can do this sort of manipulation for you, e.g.
2 up printing. Or you could use a 'virtual' printer driver like the
one from FinePrint.
Another option would be to render the document to the Intermediate
Format first, and then manipulate it to get the N-up effect.
see: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/intermediate.html
As of FOP Trunk, a new IF has been introduced, but the old one is
still supported.
see: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html
The format of Area Tree XML itself is, however, undocumented. I
suggest that you have a look, and post back specific questions here.
Normally you should be able to pull this off by applying a stylesheet
transformation on the IF XML where multiple pages are combined into
one. I've never done this myself, but maybe another user already tried
this (?)
Basic idea is to use the same FO, generate an IF file, render the
original IF for regular output, create a copy of the IF, manipulate
it, and render that for the handouts.
HTH!
Andreas
