Achieve some basic imposition on PDF documents
Bookletimposer is an utility to achieve some basic imposition on PDF documents, especially designed to work on booklets.
Bookletimposer is implemented as a commandline and GTK+ interface to pdfimposer, a reusable python module built on top of pyPdf.
It was tested on GNU/Linux althought it may work on any systems with a Python interpreter.
Bookletimposer and pdfimposer are both free software released under the GNU General Public License, either version 3 or (at your option) any later version.
BookletImposer isn't able to merge multiple PDF files. We advise you to use pdfshuffler if you need such a feature; pdfshuffler is available in Debian.

BookletImposer is under development and is thus not perfect yet. Some things work, some others do not... Thanks to report bugs if you find some!
Furthermore some features still need to be implemented.
BookletImposer is available in Debian.
Everything is in the archive.
