This message from the archive tells you how to do it.  I never got a
response from the person who asked for it, though.  Let me know if it
doesn't work for you.

I know I already asked this, but I couldn't find a way to solve it yet and
I'm
hopping someone can tell me the solution now.
I'm writting a docbook and rendering it to pdf with this command:
java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet book.xml fo.xsl > book.fo ; fop book.fo
book.pdf
and I have something like this (page 2 is the back of page 1, page 4 the
back
of page 3 and so on because I'm using: <xsl:param
name="double.sided">1</xsl:param>):
page 1: Title and author
page 2: Copyrights and abstract
page 3: empty
page 4: empty
page 5: Table of contents (using aproximatly 20% of the height of the page).
page 6: empty
page 7: List of figures (using aproximatly 20% of the height of the page).
page 8: empty
page 9: List of examples (using aproximatly 20% of the height of the page).
page 10: empty
page 11: Chapter 1 (using aproximatly 30% of the height of the page).
page 12: emtpy
page 13: Chapter 2
page 14: Chapter 2 cont (using aproximatly 50% of the height of the page).
page 15: Chapter 3
page 16: Chapter 3 cont (using aproximatly 20% of the height of the page).
page 17: Chapter 4
page 18: Chapter 4 cont
page 19: Chapter 4 cont  (using aproximatly 30% of the height of the page).
Now, as you can see, there are a lot of empty pages and empty spaces... for
such a small book it's a lot of wasted space and since I'll have to pay the
prints myself, it means also a waste of money. I'd like to get something
like
this:
page 1: Title and author
page 2: Copyrights and abstract
page 3: Table of contents, List of figures, List of examples (expand to use
another page if necesary, leave an empty back-page if necesary)
page 4: empty
page 5: Chapter 1, Chapter 2
page 6: Chapter 2 cont
page 7: Chapter 2 cont, Chapter 3
page 8: Chapter 3 cont, Chapter 4
page 9: Chapter 4 cont
page 10: Chapter 4 cont
That is, removing all the empty pages except the one that might appear
separating the tables and the chapters, make all the tables continue
(without
page jumps between them) and make all the chapters continue (without page
jumps).
That will save me, so far, about 50% of paper/money and that, for me, is a
lot.
Any ideas of how can I do it ?
Thanks.
