[comp.lang.postscript] Special 2up printing

jv@mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (08/09/90)

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to print PostScript files 2-up, but with the
same logical page TWICE on a physical page. So each A4 paper will hold
two A5 (rotated and scaled) images of the same page.

Has anyone ever created a PostScript program (or otherwise) to obtain
this?

Many thanks in advance for anything useful.

Lots of people have pointed me to the several n-up printing
tools/programs/scrips. Thanks, but ...

The main point is the duplication of the page. Each printed paper must
hold two identical (rotated and scaled) images of each logical page.
Of course, I can duplicate the page information, but is there an
elegant/quick PostScript way of doing it?
