When I use the geometry
package (2010/09/12 v5.6) for a twoside
document with one paper size (e.g. A4) and another layout size (e.g. A5), I had expected that I could print a page, turn the paper, print the other side, and cut the paper according to the crop marks. For this to work the crop marks at both sides of the sheet of paper must lay at the same position, i.e. if the first side is placed at the left of the sheet of paper,
the second one must be placed at the right side. But the MWE
\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage[twoside,a4paper,layout=a5paper,showframe,showcrop]{geometry}
\begin{document}
1
\newpage
2
\end{document}
and pdfLaTeX result into
What must I change to get "twoside-mode"?
asymmetric=true
?asymmetric=true
changes the content inside of the layout but does not move the position of the layout on the paper.
