Several times I've read requests for page filters, and I would like to
add my chorus:
Page filtering for
1: Page collage - combine n pages on a single sheet, by either
grouping left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or vice-versa
2: Page ordering - reverse page order, even-odd page order.
3: Page Filtering - select page list
4: Sheaf grouping - Rearrange for sheaves of facing pages: i.e., like
a newspapaper (example: 24 pages, 2 sheaves:
(1,12), (2,11), (3,10), (4,9), (5,8), (6,7) - sheaf 1
(13,24),(14,23),(15,22),(16,21),(17,20),(18,19) - sheaf 2
so you can do simple binding and cutting.
with a simple call:
pspager [-coll [c=nxr=m | r=mxc=n] | -select [[N-M](odd|even|reverse|sheaf=nsheaves)]]
so you can do something like
cat mywork | pspager -select 1-24(sheaf=2)\ # get 24 sheets in bunches
|pspager -coll c=2 | tee fullist \ # condense, save
|pspager -sel 1-(odd) >oddpage # get odd pages (front)
pspager fullist -sel 1-(even) >evenpage # get even pages (back)
and get something reduced to two-page blocks on single sheets,
so you can print front-back sheaves, and bind nicely;
Some of this exists, but not grouped together nicely; if no one has
done it, I shall.
