Printing 2 pages in a PDF on 1 paper with GNU a2ps

Somebody asked me on IRC (I established #a2ps at freenode, btw) how to print 2 pages of a PDF file on a single paper. And suddenly he (or she) left the channel. Well, I'm not sure I'm suppose to answer this, but anyway he/she gave me a tiny blogbait ;-)

Now GNU a2ps can handle PDF files automagically, if you have a working pdf2ps (possibly from Ghostscripts) installed. So all you have to do is:

$ a2ps -2 foo.pdf

At least it works for me.
