You could try psmulti - The Multi-talented postscript filter.

From the man page:

DESCRIPTION
     psmulti is a development of an original program called  mul-
     tips,   primarily   designed   to   print  multiple  logical
     postscript pages onto a single physical page.  psmulti  pro-
     vides  this facility in a more convenient form and has addi-
     tional capablilities such as the selection of specific pages
     from  a  structured  document,  encapsulation  of  postcript
     images within defined bounding boxes in EPS  compliant  for-
     mat.


psmulti is a perl script, search archie for you favorite ftp site.

Cheers, Bernd
