Hi,
I want to print A4 pages on A3 in a newspaper fashion, i. e. the sequence should be:
page 1 page n
page n-1 page 2
page 3 page n-2
...
Is that with LyX or LaTeX possible? If yes, how?
from within LyX create a new document, write in preamble:
\usepackage{pdfpages} \usepackage{geometry}
\EveryShipout{% \ifodd\the\value{page}\else \pdfpageattr{/Rotate 270} \fi}
and as text:
\includepdf[pages=-,nup=1x2,landscape]{file.pdf}
it is also possible with the ps or pdf file. You can change the book4 skript, which prints a4 as a5 in a book style.
#!/bin/sh # script for book generation. # Examples of use: # # man -t | book4 | lpr -P # This will print the man pages in book format and # both sides. If you need file out, say: # man -t | book4 > out.ps # cat name.ps | book4 > name2.ps # ps-file to book-format # book4 name.ps | lpr # same
#PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin #export PATH
PSBOOK=/usr/bin/psbook PSNUP=/usr/bin/psnup PSTOPS=/usr/bin/pstops
if test $# -gt 0; then for N in $*; do $PSBOOK -q $N | $PSNUP -q -2 | $PSTOPS -q "2:0,1U(1w,1h)" done else $PSBOOK -q | $PSNUP -q -2 | $PSTOPS -q "2:0,1U(1w,1h)" fi
the same is possible with
psbook document.ps | pstops -pa4 4:[EMAIL PROTECTED](21cm,00)[EMAIL PROTECTED](21cm,14.8cm),[EMAIL PROTECTED](21cm,00)[EMAIL PROTECTED](21cm,14.8cm) > output.ps
