LaTeX issue: How can I make a layout for a magazine?

Hi!
I'm planning to "migrate" all my Scribus templates that I use for a magazine (actually a "fanzine") to LaTeX.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to fit two pages in a single A4 layout, in order to fold the A4 page in half.
I'm checking out the papertex package, but I doesn't seem to provide the solution I'm looking forward.
Does anyone know how to make this folded-in-half-magazine layout with LaTeX?
Thanks in advance!!

I think you're looking for something called a 2-up? Or number-up for the general term. I could be wrong, but I think there are ps tools to handle this, like psnup and psbook.
To take care of this in LaTeX, you can use either 2up macros or the booklet package. One caveat of using either one, I don't think it takes creep into account. I think pdfpages would also work.
2up generic: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/2up/
booklet package: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ … b/booklet/
pdfpages: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ … /pdfpages/
I don't have any personal experience with these, so you may just have to play around with them. There are also probably a ton of other different ways to go about this as well.
---Edit---
Examples of two different 2-ups:

Cups, search for N-up: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html
you'll have to play around with the bottom, top, left, right order to get folded vs. cut.

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.

  • How can i set a layout for MIGO screen

    Hello all,
    How can i set a layout for MIGO screen. & make that layout default. Like i want to drag Requistioner column next to quantity in MIgo screen. temporarily I can drag but is there a way to save as layout & save it.

    Hi
    First you arrange however you want and then go to table settings which is there in the right corner of the item details and create a variant and save.
    Find a button with blue yellow and white at the top end above the vertical drag bar when put the cursor it will show you as Configuration.
    After creating the variant tick the check box use as standard setting below the variant
    Hope it helps

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
    I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.

    Hi,
    You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
    Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • 2 questions : How do I know if a video in Flash is streaming? 2nd - how can I make an overlay for video?

    Two questions :
    1) I have created a QT.mov, imported it into Flash, but after
    thinking about it, I want to be sure it is streaming for the web.
    How can I be sure of that? If it is not, what code can I put to
    make sure it is loading?
    2) How can I make an overlay for the video that disappears as
    soon as the user clicks on the play button?

    1. Without a flash ciommunication server for TRUE streaming
    of the file, what you get is called Progressive streaming. This
    means once the video begins to download it can start playing before
    the file has completely downloaded to the user. There are good
    descriptions (including pros and cons) of this here:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/overview.html
    2. If you have the file set to start automatically there will
    be no need for the user to push the play button. You could just put
    a graphic on top of the video component, and use actionscript to
    make the graphic invisible when the play button is pushed.

  • How can I make tree view for hierarchical data from select with connect by?

    If we have selected hierachy with connect by clause, how can we make it to see in tree view?

    You can't do this using the ADF, Tree Binding used by JHeadstart.
    However, If you have a recursive relationship (for example managerid) you can get a tree what you want as follows:
    - create one root ViewObject that returns the top-level employees without a manager by setting the where clause to managerid=null
    - create a second ViewObject that simply queries all employees
    - Create a ViewLink between the two view objects, and create a nested VO usage in the app module for the second view object
    - Create corresponding nested group in the application definition file and set the layout style to "tree-form" on both groups.
    See Developers Guide, chapter 3, section recursive trees for more info.

    When I use Pages on my MacBook, the comments show up as black text in a yellow box on my computer, but when I export it as a .doc and email it to others, it shows up as white text on yellow for some PC users.
