pdfbook2

Create a double sided printable PDF booklet from a PDF. Note: The booklet needs to be printed double-sided in landscape mode, flipped on the long edge. More information: https://github.com/jenom/pdfbook2#examples.

• Create a booklet named file-book.pdf with sane defaults:

pdfbook2 {{path/to/file.pdf}}

• Create a booklet with the paper size set to A4:

pdfbook2 {{[-p|--paper]}} a4paper {{path/to/file.pdf}}

• Create a booklet that has the inner margin reduced to 50 pixels (default = 150px):

pdfbook2 {{[-p|--paper]}} a4paper {{[-i|--inner-margin]}} 50 {{path/to/file.pdf}}

• Organize a large file with print signatures for binding into a larger booklet (signatures must be divisible by 4):

pdfbook2 {{[-p|--paper]}} a4paper --signature {{24}} {{path/to/file.pdf}}
