I want to print 4 din-a6 postcards on a din-a4 paper. How would you do this with inkscape?

The postcard should be duplex. I could calculate it myself, but I guess there is a tool, since this is a common task

Thank you.

Do you simply need to have a layout of four of the front of the postcard as one file and four of the back as another? – Ananda Mahto Apr 22 '12 at 15:35

Inkscape does not have an imposition engine, which is what it sounds like you're trying to do.

I would recommend exporting your file to a PDF and using a tool like JPdfTweak for handling your imposition needs. It takes a bit of experimentation to understand what it does and how it does it, but once you get the hang of how to use it, JPdfTweak can be very useful.

Thank you very much for the link to jpdftweak. It does what I searched for. I create the DIN-A4 PDF page and jpdftweak has a preset for 4on1. You just need to tell jpdftweak that you want the first page four times. Per default it puts pages 1,2,3,4 on it. – guettli Apr 22 '12 at 19:09
