Zine Arranging Software?

I'm looking for linux software or plugin that, in addition to putting the front and back cover side by side on the same leaf etc, allows me to subdivide a long pdf into sections of 8 leaves or so, which can each be printed and stapled, before final assembly of the sections into a pamphlet or booklet.

It would make me very happy if it runs locally, rather than being a web page.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing?
