Hello, A long time ago now, I had a package for Acorn computers named Acorn Publisher which could adjust the printer whole-sheet layout for multiple pages on multiple sheets. A friend working as a professional "jobber" printer would pass an individual file through a chain of processes using software running on multiple operating systems to adjust edge definition, colour balance, gamma, random noise, and perhaps select individual colours for Lithographic Masters, then finally Acorn Publisher would lay out pages so that the sheets could be guillotined and would appear in the correct order after binding. It worked with any original shape and size of sheet (perhaps A4, perhaps oversize A0+), to create any final shape and size ready for binding. I used it to quickly and easily double-side print something like A6 pamphlets or instuction manuals on to A4, then I would cut the pages using a hand operated guillotine, and simply staple the result. It could place page 1 inside or on the front, alongside the last page, with the centre pages together. If the printer could not print double sided it could print every other side of sheet, then turn the stack and print the other sides. Is there anything that is able to do the same job in Linux/Debian? Thanks for any info. -- Chris Bell www.chrisbell.org.uk
