Re: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?

Maybe I don't understand what you mean, but I've printed booklets many times 
with OO and I assume Libre works the same.

I begin with US letter size paper, but in my page layout, I set up a custom 
page size, which is essentially one/half the letter size and I keep it on 
"portrait."

When printing, I open the print dialog box. Under "Properties," I make sure 
the printer is set on "landscape."

I then click on the "Page Layout" tab and check the "brochure" option. With 
a duplex (double-sided) printer, it prints everything out perfectly and in 
order as a booklet. I then have an extra long stapler that I can use to 
staple in the middle of the letter-sized paper.

It's harder with a single-side printer because you have to either manually 
feed the pages one at a time and flip them over or figure out which order to 
put the stack in after it prints all of one side; that gets a little hairy, 
at least for me.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] extension or program for "book printing"?


Since there was the thread about the "Book Preview", I was wondering if
there is either an extension out there or a external program that would
print the pages of the document in the correct order for "Book Printing".

When you have a landscape double sided sheet with two pages printed on
each side [letter or tabloid sized paper], you need to arrange the pages
in a set order for the pages to print out on the correct sheet and
suchfor the colation and folding of the sheets into a book format.

I use to do a lot of multi-sheet newsletters printed onto tabloid
paper.  I ended up making a template in PageMaker that had the pages
listed in the placement for printing and not for the standard document
printing.  I had a template for each page count version of the
newsletter, such as 2 or 3 tabloid sheets.

I would like to find an extension or external package that would print
out the pages in the proper order for the placement on the sheets
instead of doing it manually. Since I use both Windows and Linux, I
could use a package for either OS.

Anyone know of a package or extension that would do the work?
