Formatting for web and print?

A couple of years ago I used Microsoft Publisher to write a simple
club newsletter -- this time around I'd like to use abiword under
Linux (Ubuntu in particular). One complication is that traditionally
we've produced a PDF on the web, which is a simple sequence of 8.5x11"
pages in portrait mode, but also printed a version that is 11x17"
landscape mode. Under Windows I'd use Adobe Distiller to "paste" two
8.5x11 pages together to form the print version. I see an option for
11x17" landscape pages in abiword, and ideally there would be some way
to take a file of 8.5x11" pages and simply reformat it into 11x17"
landscape mode, but offhand I don't see how to do that. If it isn't
possible inside abiword, is there a post-processing method anyone's
used (pdftk, perhaps?) to get the effect of pasting pages together to
get an 11x17" landscape version?
