Is it possible to arrange pages so that they fall alternating on two sides of the sheet?
Hi all, I have something like this: \definepapersize[thin][width=210mm,height=74.25mm] \setuppapersize[thin][A4] \setuppaper[nx=1,ny=4] \setuplayout[topspace=1.5cm,backspace=1.5cm, header=0mm,footer=0mm, width=middle,height=middle] \setuparranging[XY] I'd like to have pages 1, 3, 5, 7 on one side of the A4 sheet, and 2, 4, 6, 8 on the other one. In other words, there should be two (A4-sized) pages in the pdf. (My use case is a short quiz for my wife's students - she wants to save paper;).) Bonus points for making pages 5-8 *identical* to pages 1-4, so that: on pages 1-2 (top of the A4 sheet, both sides) there is one problem set; on pages 3-4 (just below the previous one) there is another; on pages 5-6 (yet below) the first problem set is repeated; on pages 7-8 (bottom) the second one gets repeated again.

Hi, If I understand your request correctly then there is an impositioning scheme for this already in place: \setuparranging[1*4] %section: one sheet 1 x 4 pages = 4 pages single sided! This scheme gives 4 pages on a A4. Kind regards Willi On Nov 6, 2012, at 11:09 PM, Marcin Borkowski wrote:
