It was more of a rhetorical question / suggestion... Output PDF of
1-Up card pages from LiveCode and then use imposition software or a
page layout app, link the layout to the LC PDF file and print, that's

Why? On a LiveCode list you have to ask why? :)

Two reasons come to mind, but doubtless there are many more:

Good question! Might be a good reason, but not much point in guessing.
The bigger question is: what was the true original problem?

I've worked in the printing industry for 30+ years now. What you're
talking about is called page impositions, and it sounds like you're
doing a work-and-tumble" ("the cards are now face down"), you could
also do a work-and-turn instead (flip the pile on the "landscape"

This post has become a master puzzle of its own!
Enough detail to elicit solutions, yet still open-ended.
Each answer makes its own assumptions, and solves a different problem.

with that) but the key is lay it out so that page 2 of the
Right after I sent the message below, I think I understand what you meant.
You want to print double-sided pages of all the cards in a stack. Is that

Are you making components for a tabletop game? Is it one of your own
design?
I've begun designing games here myself as something to do that takes me
