    How can I get my document to print like this?

    I print a document that ends up being 8.5x5.5 inches and is bound like a book. I wrote a program that figures out the right print order so that I can print them double sided on 8.5x11 paper, then slice the pile in half and put them together and I have a book.

    However I would prefer if I could print a full book on each half of the pile, so that when I cut the pile I end up with 2 books rather than one that's in half.

    How could I do this? I'd essentially want the book to print twice on each page.

    Thanks

      Select page layout 2 on 1. Also, in output method, select "Edit and Preview" and use the page editor to arrange the pages in order.

        No "Edit and Preview" function on this driver.

        Here are the two settings that I think you would need to make:

          Actually I do have Edit and preview, but where's the page editor?

          I know how to get my document to print 4 pages per sheet double sided, the issue is getting them in the order I want, but it sounds like the page editor once I find it will let me do that.

          Thanks

            Just which print driver are you using?

            How about a few screenshots?

                        Why even bother with this nitwit, no matter what you tell him, he'll argue with you incessantly.

                            Yes, just like that other nitwit, multiple threads with the same topic.

                              I think to some extent they are curious and want to learn...

                              ...of course then there's some person or persons on here on who has hijacked just about every thread and broken copyright law countless times without compensating the authors by posting the same thing several thousand times...

                              If we can put up with that then we can put with anything.

                              Go ahead, strip the rep. won't bother me a bit.
