Booklet mode while printing

[Bhanu Pratap]

Hi,

I am creating PDF with enabled Booklet mode. I want to selected "Booklet" mode by default while printing. Is there any a way to achieve this?

Here is an example of what I use when creating booklets:

$preferences = array(
    'FitWindow' => true,
    'DisplayDocTitle' => true,
    'PrintScaling' => 'None', // None, AppDefault
    'Duplex' => 'DuplexFlipLongEdge', // Simplex, DuplexFlipShortEdge, DuplexFlipLongEdge
    'PickTrayByPDFSize' => true,
);
$pdf->setViewerPreferences($preferences);
$pdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage', 'TwoColumnRight');

Can anyone get Booklet printing to work anymore?
The example booklet mode pdf seems to just show 4 individual pages:
https://tcpdf.org/examples/example_040/
I downloaded the PDF created on the example page, and it printed to 4 pages, if it were a booklet, it should show and print 2 pages.
Is this feature broken, or am I missing something?

The booklet mode demo is for demoing margins that are different depending on whether it is a right or left hand page.

I don't think there is a way to set booklet mode as the default print option.

When I do booklets I create a source pdf and then create a booklet pdf from it by reimporting the pages and creating the layout.
