I am wondering whether it would be useful to request for a new command
that would set the number of pages per sheet for printing.
ie. 2 A4 pages would be reduced and printed on 1 A4 page. I can't seem
to find any livecode commands to do this.
You can use the "into rect" form of the print command:
print this card into l,r,t,b -- put some pixel numbers there
Printing into a specified rectangle automatically scales the card image
to fit. You'd need to calculate the rectangles that encompass the top
half and the bottom half. Then open printing, print one card into the
top rect, the second card into the bottom rect, then print a break. The
break forces a new page. Pseudo-sorta-code:
put "18,18,594,374" into tTopRect
put "18,380,594,752" into tBottomRect
open printing -- with dialog, if you want
print card 1 into tTopRect
print card 2 into tBottomRect
print break
-- repeat that for each pair of cards
close printing
