> Yes. Output to ps and then use psbook and pstops.
psbook page specifications are very flexible, but need a bit
of mental activity to get the positioning right. Here's what
I usually use for A4 paper (21 cm x 29.7 cm):
psbook |
pstops -pa4
'4:address@hidden(21cm,0cm)address@hidden(21cm,14.85cm),address@hidden(0cm,29.7cm)address@hidden(0cm,14.85cm)'
This already does the tumble, so you must print in "normal"
duplex mode (long side flip). If you have a Postscript printer,
you can also use sed to automatically insert a
<< /Duplex true >> setpagedevice
into the output stream, if that's not your default already.
You need to adapt the scaling factor "@sss" and the positioning
on the final page "(xxx,yyy)" to your paper size (coordinate
origin in Postscript is the lower left-hand corner). If you
use non-1:sqrt(2) aspect ratio paper, you may also need to
reformat your original output to have the aspect ratio of
half of the final output page.
