Hi,

Does Context or PDFTeX have any means of reordering pages?  Also, is it
possible to output such that
two A4 pages are placed side by side on an A3 page?  My motivation is
this: I write an A4 doc which is
bound by printing pages onto A3, double-sided, then stapling in the
middle and folding in half.  This
means pages have to be printed in non-consecutive order and have to be
placed side-by-side on A3.
My solution in the past has been to convert to PostScript and use
pstools.  Unfortunately I seem to be
making very big docs these days and the PS is prohibitively big so my
only other option is to photocopy
the A4 pages onto A3 manually.  Yuck.

Alteratively, does anyone know of the existance of a PDF equivalent to
pstools?  Is the PDF structure
sufficiently simple such that this would be possible?

Our Email is currently broken and I can't use Pine.  Consequently, I'm
using Netscape Mail for the
first time.  I hope this works ok.

- Matthew
