Hi all,
especially Ana, thanks again for work on the booklet. I'd really like
a copy of the booklet in order, I'm not sure if the pages being out of
order is some kind of imposition feature of OOo or not, but I find it
impossible to read or edit this. Can it be in order please?
An in order A5 document (mybook.pdf in this example) can be converted
into a fully imposed document like so using "psutils":
pdf2ps mybook.pdf
psbook -s32 mybook.ps mybook_imposed.ps
psnup -Pa5 -pa4 -2 mybook_imposed.ps mybook_doubled.ps
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 mybook_doubled.ps
32 is the "folio size" which is our case is that same as the whole
document. Psutils is available on all reasonable versions of Linux,
and also Ubuntu.
Using PSutils to do imposition means that the document doesn't need to
be out of order. Can we do this instead? Sorry to be a pain, but
trying to make life easier for us all.
Cheers,
==
