Hi. I do business cards the following way: 1. I setup document size to 90 x 50 mm (stnadart business card size) 2. Make the card and print to Postscript file, say "1.ps" 3. Then using pstops postscript utility i impose the cards the way I need, like this:
pstops -w90mm -h50mm "12:0+0(1w,0)+0(2w,0)+0(0,1h)+0(1w,1h)+0(2w,1h)+0(0,2h)+0(1w,2h)+0(2w,2h)+0(0,3h)+0(1w,3h)+0(2w,3h)+" 1.ps 2.ps This above imposes 12 business cards into one sheet of A4 Landscape paper. Then I rotate the 12 cards 90? counterclockwise (to make tha page portrait) and center them on it: pstops -w270mm -h200mm "1:0L(205mm,13mm)" 2.ps 3.ps And finally I convert it to PDF using ghostscript ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE#a4 -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress 3.ps cards.pdf I piut the commands above into a script file and have it in my home folder for reuse.

But it's what I had when I developed a business card (attached) So far Openoffice has satisfied my needs and allowed me to avoid MS Office on this PC but this task has me stumped. I like Scribus' ability to outline letters so I'll re-do the card (no need to convert it) in Scribus. Soooo... How do I develop a business card in Scribus and print it 10-up on Avery Form # 8879? Thanks!
