You might look into the enscript or nenscript ports (/usr/ports/print/ enscript-a4, /usr/ports/print/nenscript); while enscript itself is intended for converting ASCII to PS, I recall that they also came with some utilities like psnup and so forth that would do a better job of gluing together and N-uping your documents. However, I don't recall anything which would support a document consisting of different page sizes; for most people, that sort of thing would be separate documents. -- -Chuck
