Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

Pdf printer in the print dialog (I suppose this is "system-config-printer 1.1.12") does not support brochure printing (what is brochur printing? Have a look at the picture). That demands a program that changes page order. If this feature would be integrated into Ubuntu pdf then print usability would be better.

Or, would it be more suitable to add this feature to evince? This feature exists now in OpenOffice but OpenOffice cannot handle pdf files.

Besides, is there any free program with a GUI in Synaptic that has this brochure printing?
