TeX and in particular pdftex and Context handle problems like this nicely. Or you can convert the file to PostScript and use PSUtil programs to set up signatures, in this case a single two page signature, A4 on A3. Here is my script for taking a PostScript file of 8.5 x 11 pages and printing them booklet style on 11 x17: ----------------------------------------------------------- psbook $1.ps $1b.ps echo 'psnup' psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps echo 'psselect' psselect -o -r $1p.ps $1o.ps psselect -e -r $1p.ps $1e.ps #lpr $1o.ps #echo 'switch paper' #read x #lpr $1e.ps #rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps ------------------------------------------------- -- Unless you are also printing a booklet the first command is superfluous. This is a Linux script. John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
