Subject: Is it possible to arrange pages so that they fall alternating on two sides of the sheet?
Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 23:09:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121106230927.230b1411@aga-netbook> (raw)

Hi all,

I have something like this:

\definepapersize[thin][width=210mm,height=74.25mm]
\setuppapersize[thin][A4]
\setuppaper[nx=1,ny=4]
\setuplayout[topspace=1.5cm,backspace=1.5cm,
  header=0mm,footer=0mm,
  width=middle,height=middle]
\setuparranging[XY]

I'd like to have pages 1, 3, 5, 7 on one side of the A4 sheet, and 2,
4, 6, 8 on the other one.  In other words, there should be two
(A4-sized) pages in the pdf.  (My use case is a short quiz for my wife's
students - she wants to save paper;).)

Bonus points for making pages 5-8 *identical* to pages 1-4, so that:

on pages 1-2 (top of the A4 sheet, both sides) there is one problem set;
on pages 3-4 (just below the previous one) there is another;
on pages 5-6 (yet below) the first problem set is repeated;
on pages 7-8 (bottom) the second one gets repeated again.

TIA,

--
