You are perfectly right, this feature is unfinished. Let us hope it will be fixed quickly.

Did you try in slow mode ? You have the option in the options tab. This mode is more secure. Maybe you can post your file here, if it is not confidential, and we will be able to test.
-
The problem comes surely from the library we are using. There is no intention to convert anything, but parsing a Pdf to merge two page is no fun. Fortunately, Tomas Resquin restarted the maintenance of PdfBooklet and I hope he will be able to upgrade this library whhich may solve the problem you mention.
-
I have never seen that. One possible reason is that there are permissions problems. PdfBooklet does not follow the standards because all files are in the same directory. If you install it in ProgramFiles, Windows may not allow all permissions. The simple solution is generally to install in a non system directory, like C:\utils Can you try it and see if it solves your problem ?

Where did you find an image ? I am struggling to find one but raspbx.org is not accessible, and the links to download on raspberry-asterisk.org seem to be all dead. more precisely, it is the subdomain download.raspberry-asterisk.org which is not accessible. If I can find an image, I may perhaps help you, since I am familiar with Raspbx.
-
I read somewhere that Raspbx is not compatible with Pi4 8G.

Note that on my system (Windows 8.1) the error does not exist. On which system are you running ?
-
This error is just a Warning. OK, you may correct it, thanks for the information. About the first launch being long in Windows, the cause is in the glade library. It scans all installed fonts in Windows, and the check of a font is quite long : 2-3 seconds. If you have more than 100 fonts installed, and this is current today, it will require more than two minutes. we can do nothing about that.
-
No, I had not and I am very interested by your work to make it available. Probably the most simple solution is to send by wetransfer and post the link here. Or would you like to become participant of the project ?
-
Hello thanks a lot for the solution. Your post reminded me that I must try to fix this .deb. I think I have a friend who will be able to help.

Parameters used to extract the left pages :
-
Hello, Ransom, I don't think it is lossy, provided the parameters when creating the pdf are correct. Cumbersome, yes, I understand well. Anyway, the only way to obtain good results is to get a Pdf with single pages, and not double pages cropped. Note that Irfanview has a batch mode which is very powerful. I extracted your left pages in 5 minutes. And it would have been the same time for 500 pages. Extract the images (multipage images menu) open one of the files choose Batch conversion/rename Check...

Hello, you are not using the right way. As you noticed, Acrobat does not really crop a page, but only makes the cropped part invisible. But PdfBooklet always uses the real data, and hence the full image. The reasons of the strange things you see is that in the different processes you use, the the pages come one over the other, or are not visible because they are outside the page, and you are unable to control the process. You re using PdfBooklet for something it was not designed to handle. To make...

Unfortunately I didn't find a solution. It is a pity that LibreOffice which supports python scripts for more than a decade has never made any effort to give us a proper IDE.

Hello Ken, have a look at build.py in the Github repository. You will find inside the code I was using previously (using alien) to define the dependencies. I was surprised it was so difficult to find a way to build a Debian package. The code is commented because I had problems similar to yours, and I abandoned. If you manage to create an installable package, tell me. You can join this project, if you want.
-
Hello, I understand... but as I said somewhere, we are developing in Windows, and we have not found someone to help us for the Linux version. This is regrettable because PdfBooklet should work in Linux, but this require a person to maintain the LInux version. Nevertheless, the problem is simple : the packets have changed name, they are now : python3-gi python3-gi-cairo I wonder if it is possible to install them with an alias, so that the deb file will not complain ? But I should be able to update...

-
Which version are you using ? It is not critical, but it should be good to fix it.
-
I think I was wrong about what you wanted to do and the solution above does not work. I reproduced the bug, adding one blank page. If I add two, there is no problem. I will investigate
-
Hello Andrea, I will investigate because the bug is interesting. Nevertheless, for such a work, one way is to break it in two steps : Step 1) Create your document, joining your pages Step 2) Open in PdfBooklet the document created at step 1, and add your blank page(s). See the two files attached. Is that what you wanted ?

With a high endurance card, you would have even better results. I tested one (SanDisk, the white card, 32GB) read/write for six months continuously, it supported 1300 full write (32GB x 1300). A good SSD supports 3000.
-
Short answer to be improved : The feature is not included but would be interesting, and not difficult to add. Presently, I think it is possible using a batch and the command line mode, but this is not documented. I will have a look at it.
-
-
Thank you for the information. I don't have Windows 10 and didn't notice this question. We will try to fix it.
-
This is a know little problem in Windows. For an unknown reason, the first time you launch PdfBooklet, a library (glade) will scan all your installed fonts, and process generally take two minutes or more. Just wait as long as needed and the program will start, you can do something else during this delay. The next times this will not happen. From time to time it may happen again.
-
I installed Wordpress. to create an account for you, I will need a mail address. We have to find a way to communicate on that point. Presently the wordpress site is at : https://pdfbooklet.sourceforge.io/wordpress/ But you cannot do anything, until you have an account.

Hello, this is a super idea. What I suggest for 2020 is a Wordpress site, because it makes updates so easy. Do you know this CMS ? Are you able to install it, if I give you admin rights ? If you don't know WordPress, you can learn it in a few hours, it is fairly simple, and personalisation with cms or php is possible. Also : if you can test the Linux versions of PdfBooklet, it will be a real improvment. Thanks for any collaboration you can offer.
-
I guess the message is not accurate. It means really that the program cannot write the file. The most common reason is what the program says ("Adobe Reader" is not a good way of sayning things : open in any program will have the same result). Be sure you write the file in a place where you have write permissions. You can change the destination in the Options / Output tab.
-
There would be a lot of possible improvements to the PdfBooklet interface : rulers, as you say, guide lines, work with the mouse... Unfortunately I have less and less time to work on it and I have not yet found a collaborator for the project. Presently I fix bugs when reported, not much more. I am sad about that, but that's life.
-
Make Messagebox supressable during Setup
-
Yes, I see the problem. I don't know if we will be able to fix it because it come from the library we are using. We will try our best. Thanks for the information

alternating odd-even pages binding margin
-
Hello, this is already present in pdfBooklet, either for booklets or for the "one page" mode. In the first case, just set margins differently for left or right pages In the second case, one page mode, select firs "odd pages" and set your margin, and select "even pages" and set you margin.
-
I have done all what is suggested, and I still have the Reloading... message for a very long time on screen, 3 minutes 40" (just the time for a cup of coffee !). fwconsole reload takes 12 seconds. So thje difference is between 12" and 220", around 20x for the gui reload. That's strange. It is better to have a console open to apply the config ! I am using a Rapberry Pi 3b+,
-
I have done all what is suggested, and I still have the Reloading... message indefinitely on screen. I must close and reopen the graphic interface after each "Apply config". No fun ! But it works.
-
Hello, I am not sure of what you mean. There is a blue dotted line on screen, which was requested by a user. This feature is not very well implemented but does no harm because it is only on screen. If you have a white line in the Pdf, this is not intentional in the program. Could you upload an example of the source file and the result. I tried with a full color page, and I do not get a middle line.
-
Clever. If you place your portrait.pdf before your file (as the first file), you don't have to change the reference page.
-
"Adding a portrait page doesn't help (also attached)" Yes it helps, and solves the problem if you set the reference page to this page. With your example, in options, set the reference page to 4 and you will get what you want. Nevertheless, what you say is interesting, because it shows a flaw in the conception : reference page and output page should be better connected. I guess you are peterthevicar, because you posted as Anonymous.

Double click is not easy for a file chooser widget. There is a signal "file activated" but it is unusable, because it will fire even if a second click arrives one minute after the first. And I don't know how to get list widget. I will ask this to my collaborator, Chris.
-
It was a bug fix more than a feature, because the feature was already integrated. Works in Windows. Probably some defects remain. Untested in Linux. Note that recently used directories are different for files and for projects. File attached.
-
Thank you for the test file. Fixed : just a missing (* Scale) see attached file
-
See the 3.1.3a attached. There was the question of the rotation direction. I made it clockwise. Also, creating a feature is 10% of the time (just mathematics), designing the corresponding interface takes the remaining 90%... So I just added the feature, which means that AutoRotate and AutoScale are linked together (or both or none). Later I could add the necessary checkbox to allow the user to choose. "Just to note that if in 'Output size' you select 'Automatic', and NOT 'Auto scale', it scales the...

Hello, normally all should be fixed in the last release. I didn't change the version, so dowload and install again and tell me. I added something : after fixing the bug, your page 2 (red rectangle) was correct, but appeared at the bottom of the page. Ithought it would be better to have it centered. This is the case. Perhaps you could test with different pages configuration (larger, smaller, portrait, landscape... A test pdf would be very useful to tune this feature and I don't have a Pdf Editor....

Scaling error in document with mixed page sizes

Thanks a lot for this bug report. It was an unfinished function, I just forgot to write an "esle" after an "if". This is fixed in the source and will be published in the 3.1.2 version. It will be the occasion for you to tell me if the new installer is working. It will be available in ten minutes (16h00 in France)
-
Hello, thanks for your tests and the deb file. We are working on an installer which would work also for the next versions, and which would install in /usr/lib/python3. But I will put online your deb file, until we have a new one. Thanks. Would you be ready to be beta tester for next versions ?
-
OK, I see. This is a consequence of the automatic build on Travis. I thought the programmer who makes the Linux versions (I am on Windows) had tested, but apparently not. I'll remove the files, fix it and ask you to test again. Thank you for your patience, it may take some days. But if you are familiar with Linux : you could reinstall the 3.1.0 version, and replace the pdfbooklet.py file by the version present in the 3.1.1 tarball. This is the only file I have modified.
-
I have created a 3.1.1 version which should fix this question. If new_from_steam fails, it will try new_from_file which should work.
-
Thanks a lot for your message. You are doing nothing wrong, this is a bug of Poppler, I think. We will try to fix that as soon as possible.

6 leafs currently yields 20 pages and not the expected 24 pages
-
Thanks for the build. If there is something to upload on SourceForge, tell me. I built the files for debian and rpm, but there is a bug. ! line 1168, you should have : self.chooser = Chooser(inputFiles_a, share_path_u, mrudir) and not : cfg_path_u ! I am sorry.
-
OK, I updated Github. For the lInux versions : I was discouraged by the changes in Travis which no longer supports FTP. It was really difficult to set up, and now the files are not uploaded. I have not tried again, and I am still looking for a Luinux guy who can help for that.

Malware in .exe 3.0.4

Your packaging style sucks
-
Hello, it is not a bug but a feature. The value in "Leafs for a booklet" is a maximum, PdfBooklet will use the necessary. If your file has 20 pages, it will use 5 sheets, even if you specify 6 or more. It equilibrates also the booklets. Suppose you have defined 6 leafs pby booklet (24 pages) and have a 25 pages file, it will not create a 6 leafs booklet for page 1-24, and a 1 leaf booklet for page 25, it will create a 4 leafs booklet for pages 1-16 and a 3 leafs booklet for pages 17-25. If you need...
-
There is no specific function. Just select "odd pages", and then "even pages" and move the page to the right or to the left with the same value, according to your needs. You may also adjust the scale, if necessary.

You are right, the button does not work. I didn't notice the fact because I never use it. We will try to fix that in the 3.1 version. Thank you for the notice and don't hesitate to mention what you find not working.
-
You are right, and I am aware of the problem. The reason is that we have tried to use the first font of each page, but some pages may not have any font, or only a partial set of a font. Two answers are possible : adding an object for a standard font, but the pdf format does not allow that easily. Or (perhaps better) draw the characters directly. But the result will not be beautiful. I think I would better remove this feature until it is fixed. But you say you need it... I understand because I needed...

Hello, Since I want to restore the configuration of an old version of FreePBX (2.11), I downloaded the image of 2015 : raspbx-09-02-2015.img But it does not start on a Rasperry Pi 3B+. The same thing happenen with an image of 2016. I get the colored screen, and then nothins happens. Is there any known reason and workaround ? Thanks a lot Averell

I would support the idea, but I don't know what can be done for that. Anyway, thanks for the software.

Hello, Aiamuzz, thanks for the bug report. There is a bug, but not where you think. It is normal that when you rotate pages in PdfShuffler, it has no effect in PdfBooklet. This is due to the fact that PdfShuffler does not really rotate the data, but only gives an order to the Pdf Reader to rotate the view. So what you experienced is not a bug but a desired feature. I already worked on it, but it is not finished. Presently, I should either suppress the rotating function or add a warning message, or...

It would be really intersting to use PyScripter as an IDE pour OpenOffice / LibreOffice, which slill lacks an IDE for python programming. It is possible to define the LibreOffice python as an external engine.

Hello, sorry but there is nothing we can do about it. We develop in Windows, and the Linux version is given to help those who are able to install it. We do not have someone competent in Linux in the team, it's a pity, but I asked several times and there was no offer for a proper Linux maintenance.
-
Hello, we are not Linux guys, and it is not easy for us to maintain Linux packages. After studying the question, the simplest solution will be to provide a Python script which will uninstall the whole thing.
-
Hello, since you have made a German translation, I will publish a new version. This should solve your problems. Thanks a lot for the translation.
-
Right, I don't know what happened. I rebuilt and it works now here. I upload 304c in the beta directory. You must copy it in the pdfbooklet directory, it needs the other files which are unchanged.

Calculating from paper weight will not be good, since for the same weight, a "bouffant d'édition" will be muche thicker than a "papier couché". It is better to stay "visual". In the beta_versions folder, you will find the 3.0.4b version. In this version, the creep value is the maximum shift in the booklet, what you asked for. Copy the exe file in the folder where hou have installed PdfBooklet, and run the new file (provided you are in Windows). In Linux you should change the py file. I would like...

Yes, it was designed like that, and more precisely : by sheet. In your first example, the offset on page 1 is 30mm. This function was requested by a user and I designed it according to the speifications given. I understand your approach but I don't know which is the best one. I don't use this feature myself.
-
You are and I knew the problem. This feature is experimental and does not work well. On some files it works, it depends on the way fonts are handled in the file. Presently fixing this is beyond my knowledge and time. Probably the only easy way would be to design numbers by drawing functions. I may do that one day because I need this function.
