2010 Template Request
Submitted by mlm8r on Fri, 2009-12-18 18:58.
I love the dynamic templates, but without Cocoa Booklet, I can never arrange the pdf to print correctly. If anyone does their 2010 planner (preferably by month rather than in one whole file) and has the pdf in 2-up form, ready to print, I'd love to share it! Thanks so much! Mindy

If your Mac is running Leopard or higher...
I am guessing you are on a Mac 'cause you mentioned CocoaBooklet.
Did you know that Preview in Leopard or higher can rearrange PDF pages ?

No Mac...that's the prob
I do not have a Mac. Previously, I had someone else do it using Cocoa Booklet. But, I've not been able to find anything comparable for Windows. When I try to just use the printer settings to go 2-up, I end up with a mangled margins and severely shrunken content, even when I ask it not to shrink to fit. Uggg...
A quick "Google" finds...

you Windows folks out there are welcome to suggest any other freeware PDF rearrangers you know of.

Will check it out
Thanks...didn't find that one. Will give it a try.

Must be missing something
I've fiddled with this for a bit and read the tutorial...since I don't want to split and merge, but order (so that the correct dates end up on each side of the page) and align (with the margins, etc), I don't see how to use it. Am I missing something?

Did you look at these ?

Trying....
I did. I've no clue about java script. The more sophisticated stuff is just going over my head. I'm going to play with it a little this evening...and check out some of the other tools I've been able to dig up. If I don't have any luck, then I'll just forget duplex and print on 5.5 x 8.5 paper. Thanks.
