General ⇒ the same document four times

[mappo]

I want to be able to print the same document on four A6 pages.
What is the best way to do this?

One idea that I have is to divide an A4 with a table and in each cell call
\input{documentFile}

Is there a better method? Perhaps something with minipage instead of table?

Hi mappo,

you could use the pdfpages package, call \includepdf with the nup option, see its documentation.

That will probably do it.

The document that is to be inserted is also a .tex file.
Will I have to compile it separately (so that it exists
"physically" on the HDD) before running the script with
the \includepdf command?

That way the project will have to consist of two complete
documents. As for now, there is only one document and
one other .tex file that gets \include:ed four times in a row.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{setspace}
\newcommand{\hit}{\fbox{\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}\input{lista}\end{minipage}}}

\begin{document}
	\centering
	\hit \hit
	\\
	\hit \hit
\end{document}

Here "lista" refers of course to lista.tex which is the non-complete document.
