Taking A3 pages and reducing them to A5 so they can be printed as a booklet of
A4 sheets is simple enough.
But I don't understand what you mean by "cut each A3 page in half"? Is the A3
already in the form of two A4 sheets per page so that there is a gutter between
them and you effectively want to extract each A4 half page, arrange in order,
and then print reduced to A5 in a booklet of A4 sheets?
