I have a book I'm working on in FrameMaker. All of the pages are 5.5"x8.5". I would like to print it out so that instead of getting one page in the center of each 8.5"x11", I can get two of them on a sheet. I'd also like to be able to print them double sided. Does anyone know of a program that could separate the saved PostScript from the print panel into two files that look like: Pages.odd.ps: +-----+-----+ | | | | | | |Pg 1 |Pg 3 | +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ | | | | | | |Pg 5 |Pg 7 | +-----+-----+ Pages.even.ps: +-----+-----+ | | | | | | |Pg 4 |Pg 2 | +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ | | | | | | |Pg 8 |Pg 6 | +-----+-----+ I have over 250 pages in the book, and I'd like to be able to print it like this so I can cut it and have it look like it will when I'm finished. I played last night editing the PostScript that I saved from the print panel. I manually separated it into two files that would image like I wanted on screen, but it wouldn't print right. Alternatively, a program that could load the FrameMaker file and print it this way would be good too.
