No, but /after/ that workflow. After you produce the pdf, then use a 
file something like this:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[left=0in,right=0in,top=0in,bottom=0in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

\includepdf[pages=-,landscape,scale=1]{YOUR_FILE.pdf} % this simply 
reproduces your pdf (supposing the papersize is default or whatever, 
which you can change above either with the \documentclass or via geometry)

%\includepdf[pages=-,landscape,booklet,scale=1]{YOUR_FILE.pdf}% produces 
a booklet --- see pdfpages documentation
%\includepdf[pages=-,landscape,openright,nup=1x2,scale=1]{YOUR_FILE.pdf} 
% for reader spreads, not a booklet

\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



I don't know if that's actually a help to you ... but I'll pray that you 
get a solution!
