peterthevicar posted a comment on ticket #26
An easier work-around for landscape booklets is therefore to add a single-page portrait pdf (attached), set this to the reference page, then remove it from the page list (Pages/Edit pages list).

You guessed correctly, sorry I hadn't logged in. Thanks for the info, very interesting and helpful.

Hi, Sorry didn't spot you had done this already! This has implemented going to the most recently used directory; not yet double click to open but that may be really hard. Thank you!

That fixed it for me, well done indeed!

Hero! That seems to have sorted it just as I would want, thank you so much for doing it so quickly! I've produced the attached test file to your specification and you can see for some cases it doesn't do so well. In this example parts of pages 4 and 5 are off the page in the booklet. On the other hand I can't imagine any actual real-life examples like this! I've got a much more minor feature request so will put on a separate ticket so you have the joy of closing it one day :)

Thank you, this is much better and produces a printable and readable result. Yay! Feature request: The ideal would be to auto rotate and scale the pages. I can do that manually using the 'Page transformations' tab. Documents with financial data often have lots of portrait pages for information then landscape for the spreadsheets so it could be time-consuming for a large file. Just to note that if in 'Output size' you select 'Automatic', and NOT 'Auto scale', it scales the portrait page but not the...

Thanks for responding so quickly. Nearly there! When I run pdfbooklet I get: $ pdfbooklet bash: /usr/bin/pdfbooklet: /usr/lib/python3: bad interpreter: Permission denied There's an error in the #! line which should say either python3 or /usr/bin/python3, not /usr/lib When I run python3 /usr/bin/pdfbooklet all is well and the mixed sizes now work as expcted. Thank you! However it doesn't cope with a mixture of portrait and landscape pages (see attached example)

Always happy to help a fellow Open Sourcer!

You are a star! I re-installed 3.1.0 from the deb and ran it using: PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages" pdfbooklet It doesn't work without the PYTHONPATH (gives 'no module named pdfbooklet' error) so the installed application shortcut doesn't work. This gave me the poppler-quark errors as expected. Copying pdfbooklet.py from the 3.1.1 deb into /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pdfbooklet fixed it and it works fine now. THANK YOU! FYI, other python packages seem to install into...

I installed the 3.1.1 deb file. It seems to use a very different system and installed into /home/travis which is not on my path so running pdfbooklet gave "command not found" I then tried running /home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin/pdfbooklet and got /home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory So then I tried: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin and then when I run it I get: $ /home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin/pdfbooklet...
