# pbook

> Requires java 8 or up installed

Simple and feature limited commandline utility for booklet style printing.

**pbook** is designed to be used in junction with some other printing solution. In short, it reorders pages to be in line with a booklet style print. To not mess up your print: **print xyz_booklet_front.pdf first -> flip -> then print xyz_booklet_back.pdf**

## Usage

`java -jar pbook.jar [-dhV] [-n=n] filename`

*  -d, --duplex            Reorder pages into a single pdf file for duplex-equipped printers

*  -h, --help              Show this help message and exit.

*  -n, --name-preserve=n   How much of original filename to preserve

*  -V, --version           Print version information and exit.

## Example of usage

`java -jar pbook.jar some-pdf-file.pdf`

pbook will produce two independent files for printing. One for front one for back. For duplex-equipped printers use the `--duplex` option.
