Is there a possibility that with compiling my latex document all the time two PDFs are created (a oneside and twoside version). So in my case only the first line would be different for the two versions:

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, oneside]{scrreprt}
\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, twoside]{scrreprt}

  • Probably with arara or latexmk combined with one of these answers you can automatically compile your document twice, one for oneside and another for twoside.

    don't use \documentclass in your .tex file and compile with pdflatex --jobname one \documentclass[11pt, a4paper, oneside]{scrreprt}\input{myfilename} & pdflatex --jobname two \documentclass[11pt, a4paper, twoside]{scrreprt}\input{myfilename}

  • @Bernard For printing on a Möbius strip you only need \documentclass[11pt, a4paper, oneside]{scrreprt} ;)

If it's easier for you, you can also alter your .tex source file within a batch script during compilation. For example, here is an example using a DOS script.

Given a sample.tex file:

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
Hello
\end{document}

The following batch file will create two different tex files and process them to give the shown output.

echo \documentclass[10pt]{article} > temp10.tex
type sample.tex >> temp10.tex
pdflatex temp10.tex

echo \documentclass[12pt]{article} > temp12.tex
type sample.tex >> temp12.tex
pdflatex temp12.tex
