Problem

I would like to print a PDF so that on the front of the first page are the first two pages, on the back the 3rd and 4th and so on. Because my printer using Linux fails to support manual duplex printing I'd thought, maybe I could edit the pdf in a according way. But how?

Fix for: How to convert a 1 page PDF to a 2 page per sheet PDF?

Low Risk

In addition to what's been mentioned, pdfjam-extras includes a command line tool, which does this. (It makes use of the pdfpages package for PDFLaTeX underneath, which you can also use.) If you prefer a GUI, jPDFtweak is another option.
