page within a page

[Scott Hofmann <ho...@one.net>]

I have an XML document that i run through a XSLT stylesheet to 
generate the FO to create a PDF. The resulting PDF has pages that are 
4"x6". and the content flows from one page to the next.

Now i want to send the file to a printer to have it printed and 
trimmed to the 4x6 size but realized it would be cheaper if i could 
have 2 (4"x6") pages up on 1 (8.5x11) page. Can someone point me in 
the right direction to make the fo generate multiple 4x6 pages on a 
single 8.5x11 page.

...Or is this something that just need to happen at printing time by 
the printer within the print dialog window? Hope this is clear what i 
am trying to accomplish.

There are no facilities in XSLFO for this. There should be
some utilities out there which will print multple pages of
PDF files onto the same physical paper sheet. Many recent
printer drivers have also some capabilities useful for this
purpose.
