[OS X TeX] pdfnup

[Tore Haug-Warberg]

Hi!

Maybe not the same thing, but at least related, I would like to print pages 
in non-standard order e.g. 4,1 + 8,5 + 12,9 + etc., and 2,3 + 6,7 + 10,11 
etc. Typically I would first print two A5-pages on one A4 sheet in 
landscape mode, turn the paper and print two new A5-pages on the back. This 
would allow me to print booklets ready for binding. Is this something of 
interest to you?

Best regards, Tore.
