Booklet folded in 4 (not 2) #54

Open csillag opened 7 years ago

Currently, boomaga supports printing booklets printing 2 pages on one (each side of) sheet, and then folding in into two.

That's great - however, there are situations when one wants to create a booklet by folding the printed sheet not into 2, but into 4 or even 8. (And then cutting the edges, as it is done in traditional book binding.) The page imposition required for this is similar to 4-up (or 8-up), but not exactly the same.

It would be great if Boomaga could support that, too.

(PDFjam used to be able to handle these use cases, but it has been broken for a few years now, and it seems to have been abandoned...)

Thanks.

I agree, it is sometimes necessary. But only a bit later. First I have to fix a serious bug in another my project.

Yes. Meanwhile, I have found another solution, here: https://github.com/dgoodmaniii/makebook It also missed some of the features I needed, but I could add them easily...

So, no pressure from me, I'm good for now :)
