G'day all,<br><br>To introduce myself, I am Michael, and am a linux user since a year. Now I have one problem: there is an urge for me to use expensive programs like Quark, but actually only for one feature: imposition. To print and combine pages of a print job, so that when printed, (eventually cut) and folded, all the pages fall into place into a little booklet. I have heard there is the ability to export to pdf in kdeprint, and was wondering if 'booklet-imposition' is included in that as well, and if not, if it is possible to include it in the future? I have no idea how difficult it is to combine and change the order of pages in a pdf document, but I imagine it can't be that hard, as you don't have to change any content.
<br><br>For example: If I have a booklet of 16 (A5) pages, to print them in this order on A4 paper:<br><br>[ 1+16]<br>[ 3+14]<br>[ 5+12]<br>[ 7+10]<br><br>and then the backside (for duplex printing in a one-side printer):
<br><br>[ 2+15]<br>[ 4+13]<br>[ 6+11]<br>[ 8+ 9]<br clear="all"><br>And maybe options for signatures (combined booklets) for book printing... it would sooooo cooooool!!!<br><br>Anyway, hope to hear from you.<br>Cheers, Michael
