Using texexec to prepare single-sided PDF for double-sided printing

[John Devereux <john@devereux.me.uk>]

Hi,

I would like to use texexec to post-process a large pdf file, so as to
prepare it for double sided printing. The existing file has a large
left hand "margin" on each page, so as to allow binding.

I would like to change this so that odd (right) pages have a large
left margin, and even (left) pages a large right margin.

I don't want to put 2 pages on one output sheet - although the ability
to fine-tune the scaling might be useful.

I have experimented with plenty of combinations of 

texexec --pdfarrange 

...but I am not getting anywhere.

Any suggestions appreciated. I am on debian and there are plenty of
other pdf tools, but none of these seem quite right either. It would
seem a common enough requirement but nothing quite works!

Thanks,

--
