Add notepages to pdf documents multiple pages

Add notepages to pdf documents (multiple pages)

Hi, at school most lecture notes are sent to us in .pdf-format with
one slide pr. page.

Upon printing I would rather have 3 slides pr. page and notepages to
the right.

See what I want?

(Like you can when printing from powerpoint):

http://www.techdis.ac.uk/resources/sites/accessibilityessentials3/modules/g=
ood%20practice/images/figure%2047.jpg

Can it be done?

(No my printerdriver doesn't support it).

Printing 3 slides pr. page (aligned left) would be another acceptable
option.

Thank you!

You can just make a new pdf and include the pages of the
presentations as images. Here is a solution with pdflatex:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{picture,ifthen,graphicx}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm]{geometry}

\pagestyle{empty}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\newcounter{slide}
\newcommand\notepage{%
  \begin{picture}(8cm,6cm)
    \multiput(0,0)(0,1cm){7}{\line(1,0){8cm}}
  \end{picture}%
}

\begin{document}
\whiledo{\value{slide}<10}{%
    \stepcounter{slide}%

\includegraphics[page=\value{slide},width=8cm,height=6cm,keepaspectratio]
      {slideshow.pdf}\hfill
      \notepage\par\vfill
}
\end{document}
