[Tex/LaTex] Include PDF with two pages per page

pdfpages

I'm appending my papers to my thesis using the pdfpages package as so

\includepdf[pages={-}, addtotoc={1, chapter, 1, Paper 1, paper1}]{paper-1.pdf}

Can I modify the layout of paper-1.pdf such that two pages per sheet are printed?

As mentioned by JLDiaz, you should use the nup option. According to the pdfpages documentation, the syntax of the option is: nup=(xnup)x(ynup), where (xnup) and (ynup) specify the number of logical pages in horizontal and vertical direction. You may also want to use the landscape option in order to switch to landscape orientation and avoid twisting the neck of whoever wants to read your document on screen!

\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{plain}
\includepdf[pages={1-8},nup=1x2,landscape=true]{tb88flynn.pdf}
\end{document}

I've printed the output to check that everything prints with the desired orientation. If you select "left bind" as binding position (or something like that) in the setup of your printer, you'll get this (after binding):
