Depending on what you aim to, "resize" may not be the answer because
it will shrink the chars (and is unecessary here). Rather, create A5
(or A6) documents directly in LaTeX, psbook and psnup them, then
print. I had to make booklets in a very different context a while
ago. Maybe the files at
http://cantorumh.dyndns.org/preprints/index.dir/index2.html
may provide you with some inspiration.
