psnup(1) was made for that in the 90's. There's a front end called psbook(1)

You just add one line to your LaTeX document and it does it for you.

I sent a pdf as my resume for a junior dev job. They said they couldn't read pdf's and asked for a .doc. How the fuck can a company that requires in-house software devs cannot into pdf?
Gabriel Adams
You can do it with any postscript/pdf with psnup.
You should output PS then format that PS file however you want. In troff I use.
groff -Tps -ms file | psbook | psnup -2 to output a booklet. For slides I just use psnup -6 for 6 slides per page. It's nifty and more elegant than hardcoding it in the typesetting.
Caleb Jackson
used texstudio for a long time, but ever since i learned to use vim... i use vim
Jackson Foster
Was the company directly asking you for a PDF or was it a staffing agency / placement firm? If it was the later, they usually want it in an easy to edit format so they can remove your contact information from the resume before presenting it to their client. That way, if the client actually does want you, they have to go through the staffing agency / placement company instead of contacting you directly. Also, sometimes companies need it in a .doc/.docx format because of some shitty internal HR system needs it in that format in order to parse it. I've just stopped even applying to companies like that. They are usually shitty places to work.
