Text Formatting ⇒ Document for A5 format print

[binarko]

Hi there. I've got problem. I want to print some brochure in A5 format by printing on A4 paper and folder in half. It means, that on first side of A4 there is on left side last page of brochure, and on right first.. on other side of paper on left there is second page and on right penultimate page.. and so one.. I am LaTeX newbie so I don't know whether to stylize it in tex file or write normal document and during translation to PDF there will be some additional options.

Any ideas? Thanks

The PDF viewer of your choice should be able to arrange the pages accordingly during the process of printing.

I could not find that option in Evince under Linux. Can you elaborate?

Then you had bad luck with Evince. It's one of the viewers which don't manage that. But you could print your document with the Ad0be Reader for Linux. I'm sure you will find in your distribution's repositories.

An alternative is to compile the document to PS (or convert the PDF to PS) and rearrange the pages accordingly with pstops (a Linux command line utility).

I generally use psbook to create signatures and print them. I had never looked at the print options of a pdf reader and hence was curious.

I am not fond of Adobe Reader and unless forced to use it, am happy with xpdf and evince (in that order)
