A5BOOKLET(1) General Commands Manual A5BOOKLET(1)NAME
a5booklet - copy two A5 pages from a .dvi file to one A4 page in another.
SYNOPSIS
a5booklet file[.dvi]
DESCRIPTION
A5booklet is a little script that allows you to typeset two A5 pages next to eachother on a single A4 page (landscape), combining pages
from the original file in such a way that after double sided printing and some reshuffeling of the pages you get a nice a5 booklet that is
ready for a staple in the middle.
The script calls a very clever program dvidvi, written by Tomas Rokicki (the author of dvips), that does the real work.
The output is written to two files, file-1.dvi and file-2.dvi
dvips -ta4 -tlandscape file-1
then put the stack upside doen in the printer, and print the second file using
dvips -ta4 -tlandscape file-2
Make sure that the bottom of the A5-pages is on the correct side of the paper when you put the stack back for printing the back side.
After the two print jobs, you must re-shuffle the paper stack before you can staple it.
SEE ALSO tex(1), dvips(1), dvidvi(1).
BUGS
The script has A4 papersize hardwired into it. Admittedly, a European-centered way of thinking.
Page number 1 is always the first page in the original .dvi file, not the page numbered 1 by TeX's numbering scheme.
AUTHOR
A5booklet is written by David A. van Leeuwen (david@ElseWare.cistron.nl), but is is not original in any way. The main two lines that do
the work are inspired from the man page of dvidvi. A5booklet is available under the conditions of the Gnu Public Licence.

dvired(1) teTeX dvired(1)NAME
dvired - print dvi-files
SYNOPSIS
dvired [ options ] file
DESCRIPTION
dvired behaves like dvips, except for the fact that two logical pages are put onto each physical sheet of paper.
For options, see dvips(1). This program only interprets the following options:
-o file - redirect output into file.
-P printer - direct output to printer.
-f - direct output to stdout.
Any other option is passed directly to dvips.
EXAMPLES
It is assumed that the PRINTER-variable is set.
dvired -Plw foo - send output to printer lw.
dvired -o foo.ps foo - send output to file foo.ps.
dvired -pp4-7 foo - send 4 pages (reduced onto 2 sheets) of foo to the printer.
dvired foo -f | ghostview - - preview output with ghostview.
SEE ALSO dvips(1)BUGS
dvired is fixed on A4 paper size. If you want to use it with other paper, you have to change the settings within the source.
