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
