I would like to produce a small, portrait-oriented book using a<br>
4-page-per-US-letter-sheet Cut and Stack imposition. I have a Macbook<br>
Pro with OSX 10.13.6 and an HP P2055dn automatic duplexing laser<br>
printer.<br>
<br>
I am totally new to desktop publishing. Please let me know the<br>
best/cheapest way to do that.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The Scribus wiki has a page on different tools that can be used for impositioning.</div><div><a href="https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/PDF,_PostScript_and_Imposition_tools">https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/PDF,_PostScript_and_Imposition_tools</a></div><div><br></div><div>For Cut and Stack it is really mostly the shuffling of pages that is the hard part, the rest is more or less just N-up printing.</div><div><br></div><div>I think that likely the most powerful tool in this case is jpdfTweak, but figuring out the config string for the shuffling may not be an easy task. But make a testing PDF of a suitable number of pages with just huge page numbers on them and use some trial and error to make it work.</div><div><br></div><div>Do you mean 4 pages per sheet or 4 pages per side? Because I think if you mean 4 pages per sheet (i.e. 2 pages per side), it will just be a booklet impositioning?<br></div><div><br></div><div>/Peter<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
