[Tex/LaTex] Including crop marks when printing

Question

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 4×6 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?

Answer 1

You can use pdfpages. package for this. First produce a pdf file of your invitations (with tight border) (I used snip tool and took a screen shot. Hence quality is not very good.). Then you can include them in another file like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[letterpaper,bindingoffset=0.2in,left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
% ----------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
\includepdf [pages=-,booklet,landscape]{capture.pdf}
\end{document}
