subdividing 8x10 pages

[JamesCanning]

Hi people,

I've mentioned this before re Publisher, but a long time ago. I never got a solution to the problem of subdividing an  8x10 paper pages into 4-4x5 pages and printing out the result so it can be cut in one dimension and after cutting I want to have double sided 4x8 pages that can be folded in half  and fitted within or on top of each other to make a 4x5 booklet.

I have decided its impossible. The problem of odd and even pages subdivided into paired 4x5 odd and even pages, feels like an experiment in 4th dimensional topology. I can't use imposition software afaik because its meant for larger paper sizes. Do you all think I'm barmy? 😂

This is called Imposition. What you are wanting for is going to look like this

The free version of Montax Imposer (Window only) exports to a maximum sheet size of A4 (8.27″ × 11.69″) with up to 4 pages per sheet.

old Bru,

re your layout - it's for notebook style layouts. What about for pamphlet style layouts?

Thank you,

James
