Hello, excuse my English... I'm trying to do a nautilus-script to transform a normal A4 pdf to another pdf with book format, ready to be printed (double sided). I mean, the script put pages in order and also put 2 pages per horizontal A4 page (p.e.: a pdf with 8 pages would look like: 8-1, 2-7, 6-3, 4-5; and a pdf with 7 pages would be: blankPage-1, 2-7, 6-3, 4-5).
I've tried a lot of commands with no result; I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I suppose it will be all of it...
Here it is the code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
a="pdftk $1 dump_data output | grep -i Num | cut -d \ -f2"
x=a%2
y=((a+1)/2)+1
i=2
j=$a
if [ "$x" = "0" ]; then
pdfnup $1 --nup 2x1 --pages $j,1 --outfile partwkj1.pdf
j=j-1
else
pdfnup $1 --nup 2x1 --pages ,1 --outfile partwkj1.pdf
fi
while [ $i -lt $y ]; do
pdfnup $1 --nup 2x1 --pages $i,$j --outfile partwkj$i.pdf
i=i+1
j=j-1
if [ $i -lt $y ]; then
pdfnup $1 --nup 2x1 --pages $j,$i --outfile partwkj$i.pdf
fi
i=i+1
j=j-1
done
pdftk partwkj*.pdf cat output libro.pdf
rm partwkj*.pdf
