Once you get a PostScript file then preparing a booklet using the common PostScript utiilities is not too difficult. Here is my script for printing out a booklet composed of letter size sheets on 11 x 17 paper: psbook $1.ps $1b.ps echo 'psnup' psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps echo 'psselect' psselect -o $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 This is a Linux script. Windows of course is more limited in scripting but the statements could be entered individually. You need psbook, psnup, and psselect. They are downloadable from the net and I think windows versions are available. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
