General ⇒ Side-by-side Two Up PDF

[xeror]

Greeting everyone.

I would like to make a PDF file with side-by-side two up printing. I have tried the packages 2up followed by 2up. The content is as desired but the PDF is on a portrait orientation instead of landscape and crops the content on the page on the right hand side. Here is the code and PDF file it generates:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{2up}
\usepackage{twoup}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Question 1
\newpage
\item Question 2
\newpage
\item Question 3
\newpage
\item Question 4
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

You wanted two pages side by side on a single page, but the attached file shows two *separate* pages. I compiled the sample code, and got the same result.

I have a suggestion. Just compile the file without including twoup and 2up packages. Then process the resulting pdf file with pdfnup which puts two pages side by side with minimal fuss.

Regards.

Does anyone know how to put two A5 pages on A4 without using psnup or pdfnup.

psnup reduces the font size and also when I've tried various psnup solutions it's ended up not fitting on the page properly (not sure if that's a bug in psnup or something I'm doing wrong).

I'm looking for a solution like the one offered by xeror but which puts the page the right way round. In ConTeXt this can be done simply using this (variations on).

Code: Select all

\setuppapersize  [A5][A4]
\setuparranging  [2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering  [alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout   [margin=0pt,width=fit]
\setupbodyfont  [lbr,12pt]

This works very well but there are other things that I know how to do in LaTeX but not in ConTeXt.

Is there an equivalent in LaTeX please?


Thanks
