Investigate home printing process

[Ainali]

We've had queries on how to best print a game at home, and our current build process is not optimized for that. We could investigate what approaches we could use to perhaps combine and arrange the cards so they fit on a regular sheet of paper (perhaps 3x3).

There is a method for combining several pdfs using LaTeX here.
Perhaps we could generate 6 LaTex files (out of the 54 pdfs, assuming 3x3) using that method and from that generate 6 printable A4 pages.

Indeed, \includepdfmerge may be exactly what we are looking for!

I used tkpdf to combine the pdfs. From there, printed 4x3 on letter paper using commercial pdf mangler. Could definitely be easier.

Yes. And a good process should certainly not require commercial tools, and I have confidence it does not have to.

Perhaps pdfjam would make this process straight-forward? It's worth looking in to.
