This will do exactly what you want (including the rotation for the double-sided printer at work) although it assumes a4 input. I assume you could remove the @0.7 parts (scaling), but please check the manpage (BTW these commands are part of your TeX distribution ;-): pstops -pa4 -q '4:0L@0.7(21cm,0)+1L@0.7(21cm,14.85cm),2R@0.7(0cm,29.7cm)+3r@0.7(0cm,14. 85cm)' It uses stdin and stdout as source and destination (but you can specify two files for in and out). I figured the command out on linux, gv is you friend for these commands :-) Regards, Maarten Whenever anyone says, "theoretically", they really mean, "not really".
