I’d like to have each page a 1/4 the size of a regular piece of paper, in a booklet style, printing on the front and back, and have 4 pages per page one side of piece of paper.
That way I can cut the page in half and minimize the amount of paper I use while making a quarter page size booklet I can keep in my pocket.
LibreOffice Writer (and Draw, which can load .pdfs) have the option to change the page order when you are printing multiple pages scaled onto one sheet. They also have a “brochure” print setting which automatically half sizes a document to fit four pages on one sheet, two on each side, correctly reordered for you to fold it in the middle. Would that work?
