Post by crowley »

I have another problems.
I must create pdf document which contains N pages in A5 format printed on A4 in this order:
1st A4: 1st and Nth A5
2nd A4: 2nd and (N-1)th A5
When i type:

Code: Select all

documentclass[a5paper]{article}
text is trimmed to a5 format, but is printed on a4 format

Where's the problem? I'm beginner...
thanx

Write your text in normal a4paper format and use the special printing options of the Adobe Reader when printing your document. In these options you can tell Adobe Reader somewhere to print a booklet. By doing so, the Adobe Reader sorts the pages in the right order and sends them to the printer. If your printer has a duplex unit, the rest is done automatically.
