For achival value in case anyone else searches the list for this topic, here's the command line that works for me: texexec --pdfarrange --paperformat=a5a4 --print=2UP p5.pdf (2SIDE also works, and the --print= is needed) I had been using the texexec man entry from an old Context (with tetex 3.0) which doesn't mention the --paperformat switch. Is there a way to specify custom paper sizes or reductions for the paperformat, for those of us in countries that use non-sqrt(2)-aspect-ratio paper sizes? -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
