I would like to print crop marks around my document (an invitation). The invitation has a smaller size than the physical paper and the crop marks aid in the cutting process. Using the crop
package, here is what I currently have:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvips=false,pdftex=false,vtex=false,paperwidth=4in,paperheight=6in,margin=0.25in,bottom=1in,top=1in,nohead]{geometry}
\usepackage[letter,pdflatex,landscape,center]{crop}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}%
\crop[cam]
\centering
{\Huge Example Invitation}\\[1.5 in]
\begin{Large}
Date\\%
\&\\%
Time\\
\end{Large}\vspace{0.5in}
{\large Location}
\end{document}
Since the invitation itself is only 4x6 in, I should be able print two invitations on each letter-sized piece of paper. The crop package has a mount2
option, but I was not able to get it to work. Has anyone ever done this?
mount2
option isn't designed for placing multiple logical pages on one physical sheet of paper, it only suppresses the inner crop marks - the process of assembling the pages is left to you, which can be done as shown in Harish Kumar's answer. Unfortunately, this fact isn't stated very cleary in thecrop
manual.
