Hraban needed a "3SIDE" schema Beware, you need to fit three "filius" planner pages on one A4 sheet. Willi wrote it:<texcode>\unprotect% New page imposition scheme 3SIDE by Willi Egger 2003-07-21 \installpagearrangement 3SIDE {\dosetuparrangement{3}{1}{6}{4}{2}% \pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE\poparrangedpagesAB\relax} \def\pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE#1% Willi's approach {\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \ifcase\arrangedpageN \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 1 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA % 2 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageA % 3 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageB % 4 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageB % 5 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageB % 6 \poparrangedpages \fi} \protect</texcode>You can use this code simply in set up your environment file. The other schemas are XY arranging in <tt>page-imp.tex</tt>.the right order:
Use it like this:
\definepapersize [filius][width=92mm, height=172mm]\setuppapersize [filiusA7][A4,landscape]\setuparranging setuppaper[3SIDE]\setuplayout [location=middle, alternative=singlesided, gridnx=no4, markingny=on, leftmargin=10mm, leftmargindistance=0mm, topspace=2mm, header=4mm, footer=0mm, width=77mm, height=166mm]</texcode> ConTeXt is also handy when you need to '''rearrange an existing pdf''' into a booklet. This is a trial-and-error solution by Mari for rearranging an A4 pdf file into 2*8 spreads on A3 sheet (-> A6 pages when printed and cut). The texexec.tex file that was created by the first tries with <tt>texexec --pdfarrange</tt> (which didn't seem to have enough options) was a great help while working towards this solution.Not sure about the margins on the final A6 pages (the original has equal left and right margins, some extra inside margin might be a good thing), but at least otherwise this seems to do the trick: <texcode>\setuppapersize[A6][A3] %individual page A6 size, print size A3must come before \setuparranging[2*8,rotated] %makes an 8 page gathering when folded (duplex printing!)\setupoutputsetuplayout[pdfpage]\setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, headermarking=0pt, footer=0pton]\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \insertpages [original_file.pdf]setuparranging [width=0ptXY] \stoptext
restructuring; deleted 3SIDE since it doesn’t work any more (use XY instead)

ConTeXt is also handy when you need to '''rearrange an existing pdf''' into a booklet. This is a trial-and-error solution by Mari for rearranging an A4 pdf file into 2*8 spreads on A3 sheet (-> A6 pages when printed and cut).

Not sure about the margins on the final A6 pages (the original has equal left and right margins, some extra inside margin might be a good thing), but at least otherwise this seems to do the trick:
<texcode>
\setuppapersize[A6][A3] %individual page A6 size, print size A3
\setuparranging[2*8,rotated] %makes an 8 page gathering when folded (duplex printing!)
\setupoutput[pdf]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\insertpages
[original_file.pdf][width=0pt]
\stoptext
</texcode>
