        Incidentally, if you're willing to use PS, you need the psutils
package (I forget where it is, but dig it out).  A quote from the pstops (ps
to ps) man page:

       Pstops rearranges pages from a PostScript document, creat<AD>
       ing  a  new  PostScript  file.   The input PostScript file
       should follow the Adobe Document Structuring  Conventions.
       Pstops  can be used to perform a large number of arbitrary
       re-arrangements  of  Documents,  including  arranging  for
       printing  2-up, 4-up, booklets, reversing, selecting front
       or back sides of documents, scaling, etc.

        There are various other PS utils, but these seem to do most
things.  I'd also recommend ghostview (or something equivalent; it's a
graphical PS viewer) to those who don't have it.  

        Hope this is useful :).
