In here, it will create one PDF for each page of your document.įinally, it will work out what order these pages should be in, and create a new ‘booklet.pdf’ on your desktop with the pages reassembled in that order. Then when you run the script, it will create a folder called ‘booklet-pages’ on your desktop. The script will warn you if your page count isn’t right. Select the last page and choose ‘Edit > Insert > Blank Page’ as often as needed and then save. Fortunately, you can easily append blank pages in Preview if needed. ![]() (Note too that if you’re reading this in 2022 or later, you definitely want to continue on to read the updates at the bottom of the post!)įirst, the number of pages in your starting PDF must be a multiple of 4. It does, however, have a few useful ways of manipulating PDFs without having to install anything else, and my script will at least prompt you with some of the following information when you run it. Now, please note: You should understand how this works before trying it! It’s not complex, and I could have made it much prettier and self-explanatory, but I was using Automator, which is so far from a real programming language as to be frustrating. Set the ‘Two-Sided’ option to ‘Short-Edge Binding’.Go into the Layout section of the Print dialog.You can then just print that using Preview as follows: It produces a new PDF on your Desktop with appropriately shuffled pages. It’s an Automator script which you can run as a service: once installed, you can right-click on a PDF and select Services, and you should find a ‘Make Booklet PDF’ option. So here’s my solution, which could be a lot tidier, but does the only tricky bit of the job: getting the pages in the right order. Now, there are utilities you can buy which can do exactly this, but why would I spend a tenner or two when I could instead use a few otherwise lucrative working hours and build one myself? ![]() My HP printer driver had a ‘booklet’ facility, and it worked OK for 8 pages, but let me down when given any more. Unfortunately, you need to print page 39 on the same page as page 10, and then pages 40 and 9 on the other side, etc, and when you get to anything more than about 4 pages it’s hard and tedious to do this by hand and get it right. I think Craig and Apple’s crack marketing team will be very proud when they see Basic Apple Guy’s end result□.I had a 47-page PDF document that I wanted to turn into a compact A5 booklet – you know, one of those things where you get out the big stapler and make something like this: To give Rancho its due, rather than being the butt end of a WWDC joke, I wanted to see if I could create a beautiful macOS-style wallpaper of this locale.įor speed, Basic Apple Guy created the first design with Midjourney but it was such a low resolution that he decided to recreate a version from scratch at a higher quality with more detail as well as “a vectorized tree at the vanishing point.” Before unveiling OS X Yosemite Apple teased about considering OS X Oxnard, OS X Weed, and yes, OS X Rancho Cucamonga. To get everyone up to speed, at WWDC14, in the early days of the transition from OS’s named after big cats (Lion, Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard, etc.) to places in California, Craig Federighi joked about Apple’s “Crack Marketing Team” driving around California in search of the next name for OS X. The new design has roots in a Craig Federighi joke that’s turned into a serene and beautiful design paying homage to the imaginary “macOS Rancho Cucamonga.”īasic Apple Guy shared the new wallpapers and the background on how the new creation came to life in a blog post this weekend. ![]() Basic Apple Guy is back this weekend with another gorgeous wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ![]()
