Once I get the single pages in two files (even<br>
and odd) I can shuffle them as needed using<br>
pdftk, pdfbook etc. But I need to trim the double<br>
pages down to singles. Can I do this in Scribus<br>
somehow?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'd look for some PDF tool that can do it, because in Scribus you'd have to import each page manually (unless you write a script for it). Not fun with 100+ pages.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">My idea would be:<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1. Make two copies of the manual.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2. For the first one, crop all pages in half from the right side (should leave you with odd pages)<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">3.

Use a PDF shuffle function to combine the two PDFs<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">5. Now you have a PDF with single pages, just use an imposition tool to make it a booklet.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It's bee a while since I looked at different tolls so I don't know what tools can crop pages, but the Scribus wiki has a handful of suggestions to look at.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">/Peter<br></div></div>
