How do I make a booklet from a pdf, using a mac with Snow Leopard? Ideally I would like to be able to split my document into multiple booklets (say 10 - 20 pages in each) so that when I bind them they can lie reasonably flat. I've noticed there is a 'booklet' option when printing from Preview, but it the options are greyed out when I choose it. I saw this question previously, but some of the software mentioned is now obsolete. |

The best software for this purpose I have found is Cheap Impostor. It has the features you describe:
It is already useful in the unregistered version, but registration at $35 is reasonable and worth the cost. The website has some useful links how to actually bind the book. I have used this process and added some improvements for my own needs. I have printed and bound many books and booklets, usually by printing out 1-page signatures, folding them and glueing them with wood glue. I use a homemade press similar to those described in the links, but made from metal. I cut a piece of gauze bandage or book muslin and put it over the still wet glue. This makes the binding more durable. |
