Tools for Creating Books

This collection contains tools which aid in the development of booklets and books.

Transscription Layouting Tool

For the publishing of old, handwritten material a framework is planned:

• Show the scanned image or photo of the handwriting on the left, and an editing window on the right side of the screen.
• Do proper resizing and page numbering.
• Produce a PDF ready for printing a book or booklet.

Page Reordering

A booklet should be printed with 4 typeset A5 pages on one sheet of landscape A4 paper. Most home-office printers have no real duplex feature, but the booklet can be produced by the following process:

• reorder the pages,
• print the first half of double pages on the front side of the paper,
• reverse the pile and re-insert it into the printer,
• print the second half of double pages on the rear side of the paper,
• fold the sheets in the middle.

The program dbogen.pl will print the page numbers in the corresponding order. Real books are produced from big sheets containing 32 or even 64 pages. The pages are distributed over the sheet, sometimes upside-down, such that they appear in the right order when the sheet is folded und 3 sides are cut.

• A program is desired which computes the layout of 16/32/64 pages, and which shows the folding process.
