There is a very powerful LaTeX package pdfpages.sty which allows you to post process pdf files.
is there really not any package that would collect two pages right in the output routine?
Hi Hartmut, given that Phil wrote his document in plain TeX, he would certainly be able to write such an output routine himself. I'm in Poland now and can't look into the TeXbook ATM, but I'm sure it gives some hints.
He wrote his text in LaTeX and the LaTeX output routine is so complex that it dosn't make much fun to change it.
It's quite easy using a package such as `atbegshi' or `everyhsi'.
The advantage of changing the output routine is that hyperlinks are preserved.
The big problem is \write (delayed, not \immediate): page numbers
for \label, ...
For preserving hyperlinks with pdfpages I have started project `pax'.
Yours sincerely
