Bookify
Transform pdf files into books for double-sided printing
Preparing the book: Layout
- Use Calibre to convert the book to .docx format
- Modify the resulting docx, applying the following changes:
- Add title page + empty page (usually the second page is empty)
- Maybe add extra pages such as index or dedication
- Add page numbering (make sure to make it start only after the special pages such as index/dedication)
- Make sure that every new chaper is in an odd page (this is to make it so that the first page of every chaper appears on the left)
- Make the total number of pages a multiple of 4 (if it's not, empty pages will be added at the end to pad it)
- It's recommended to set the size of the document to A5 and use generous margins
- Export the document into a pdf (we will refer to this pdf as
formatted.pdf)
Note: You can use this docx as a template and/or example of the book layout described.
