We use: +* LaTeX to typeset the catalogues +* dvibook to re-arrange into signatures +* dvidvi to get 2 A5s on one A4 for printing. +Thus, the dvi file used for printing is 2 stages removed from the dvi file +produced by the LaTeX run that typeset the catalogue. The catalogues are +hundreds of pages long, and the final output device's per-page cost is +high. + +Sometimes the final output device messes a particular page up. It is +desirable to reprint this particular page. But, by this time, the +page-numbering is somewhat convoluted. E.g., if one picks up a messed up +2-up page from a 32-page signature, the numbers printed on the sheet don't +give much indication of what one should put after "dvips -p " to reprint +that page. (The catalogues have some roman-numbered pages at the front, +which don't help.) It would be possible to work it out, but somewhat +tedious. + +A nice approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up +32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to read off its "page-number +counted from start of final dvi file". This would then give a number to +put after "dvips -p =" to get the page printed. I know that DVItoVDU +displays "page number from start of dvi file". Is thre any other +"graphical previewing software" that also displays this information. (We +have a number of platforms available, so information about anything on any +platform is potentially relevant.) + +A nicer approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up +32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to give a mouse-click to say +"send this page to my PostScript printer".
