I'm interested in generating a PDF containing a set of cards half of 
U.S. standard letter size. For some reason, my HP printer prints very 
slowly when I print to paper of any size other than letter, so what I'd 
like to do is print two cards on each full letter-size card stock in 
landscape orientation, so that I can then slice the pile of cards in 
half. After I'm done, the cards should be in a particular order, and it 
will be easiest if I can do it as follows:

1. Generate the cards as virtual pages, without adding them to the 
document, so that when I've finished that I can see how many I have.

2. If I have N cards (where N is an even number; if N is odd, then I'll 
just add a blank card on the end), I want to write card1 to the left 
side of the first full-size page of the PDF and card (N/2 + 1) to the 
right side, card 2 and card (N/2 + 2) to the second page, and so on, so 
that card (N/2) and card N are both on the final sheet.

I tried to find a suitable generic container element for this purpose 
but I was unsuccessful. Is there a solution?
