Imposition pdf export

[Michael Killian]

G'day all,

To introduce myself, I am Michael, and am a linux user since a year. Now I
have one problem: there is an urge for me to use expensive programs like
Quark, but actually only for one feature: imposition. To print and combine
pages of a print job, so that when printed, (eventually cut) and folded, all
the pages fall into place into a little booklet. I have heard there is the
ability to export to pdf in kdeprint, and was wondering if
'booklet-imposition' is included in that as well, and if not, if it is
possible to include it in the future? I have no idea how difficult it is to
combine and change the order of pages in a pdf document, but I imagine it
can't be that hard, as you don't have to change any content.

For example: If I have a booklet of 16 (A5) pages, to print them in this
order on A4 paper:

[ 1+16]
[ 3+14]
[ 5+12]
[ 7+10]

and then the backside (for duplex printing in a one-side printer):

[ 2+15]
[ 4+13]
[ 6+11]
[ 8+  9]

And maybe options for signatures (combined booklets) for book printing... it
would sooooo cooooool!!!

Anyway, hope to hear from you.
Cheers, Michael
