CocoaBooklet lets you create a booklet out of a PDF file.
A booklet is book that is bound in the middle. Which means that a booklet has four pages printed on one sheet of paper (two on each sides). If you have for example a PDF file with 8 pages, you booklet will look like this:
First sheet, first side: pages 8 and 1
First sheet, second side: pages 2 and 7
Second sheet, first side: pages 6 and 3
Second sheet, second side: pages 4 and 5
The bottom line is that you simply print your booklet, staple it by the middle, fold it in two and you have a book !
This is also known as "imposition".
CocoaBooklet also lets you create a minibooklet. This is especially useful for printers that cannot print on both sides. What you will get is thiCocoaBooklet uses LaTeX to create the booklets. You don't have to install LaTeX since a minimal version is included in the application.
PDF Service
CocoaBooklet lets you use it as a PDF service. This is only available for MacOS X 10.2.4 and above.
Once this is done, try printing a document (from your favorite browser or text editor or whatever). On the print window, you will find an button with a PDF icon in it, if you click on this button you will have the opportunity of creating a PDF file but also to directly create a booklet.
