DESCRIPTION

       bookletimposer  is  an  utility to achieve some basic imposition on PDF documents, especially designed to
       work on booklets.

       It allows:

       • to transform linear documents to booklets;

       • to reduce a document to put many on one sheet (for handouts for example);

       • to transform booklets to linear documents.

       It is a free software released under the GNU General Public License, either version 3 or (at your option)
       any later version.

   bookletimposer –no-gui –linearise –pages-per-sheet=2x1 in.pdf
