Description Dmitry Morozovsky 2002-03-28 20:40:01 UTC 
I suppose it would be useful to have ability to make folded printable books
by docproj (psbook and psnup binaries from print/psutils* port are required).

Personally, I have made handbook and many articles from docproj in folded
format, print them and have very good time reading well-formed books (or
brochures) ;-)

Patches for share/mk files are here. Proposed formats are folded.ps 
and folded.pdf respectively.

Hello Dmitry, 

I think it's a good idea, but it seem it needs further work. I've installed 
print/psutils-a4 and generated a folded pdf: 
http://kovesdan.org/files/article.folded.pdf 

As you can see, it does not fit on the page. Could you take a look at this 
issue? If so, I'd be happy to take care of this great piece of work. 

Regards, 
Gabor

Close this PR in lack of feedback.  Anyway, PDF readers are usually
able to print multiple pages on a single sheet.
