## About
---
Simple NodeJS command to split and reorder PDF Pages into Signatures to print the outputted PDF in a Booklet style.
***Reasons for this project:***
> It is always fun to play with nodeJS !
I needed to split my Apple Pages document into booklet.
### Installation
```bash
npm install -y @yetanothertool/booklet
```
### Usage
```bash
yat-booklet [output]
yat-booklet [output.pdf]
```
**Preview Mode**
```bash
export PREVIEW=1
yat-booklet mySuperBook.pdf 8
```
*Output*:
```bash
Document processed with success !
Saved to 'output.pdf'
Summary: '80' pages split into '8' signature(s)
[
[ [ 10, 1 ], [ 2, 9 ], [ 8, 3 ], [ 4, 7 ], [ 6, 5 ] ],
[ [ 20, 11 ], [ 12, 19 ], [ 18, 13 ], [ 14, 17 ], [ 16, 15 ] ],
[ [ 30, 21 ], [ 22, 29 ], [ 28, 23 ], [ 24, 27 ], [ 26, 25 ] ],
[ [ 40, 31 ], [ 32, 39 ], [ 38, 33 ], [ 34, 37 ], [ 36, 35 ] ],
[ [ 50, 41 ], [ 42, 49 ], [ 48, 43 ], [ 44, 47 ], [ 46, 45 ] ],
[ [ 60, 51 ], [ 52, 59 ], [ 58, 53 ], [ 54, 57 ], [ 56, 55 ] ],
[ [ 70, 61 ], [ 62, 69 ], [ 68, 63 ], [ 64, 67 ], [ 66, 65 ] ],
[ [ 80, 71 ], [ 72, 79 ], [ 78, 73 ], [ 74, 77 ], [ 76, 75 ] ]
]
```
The `output.pdf` file contains all pages in the correct order.
The next step is to configure the printer properly to print your book.
### Troubleshooting
You must use a signature that matches your total page count.
for exemple:
- 80 pages with *3* signatures is **NOT VALID**
- 80 pages with *1* or *2* or *4* and *etc.* signature(s) is **VALID**
