Hello Olivier and Docs Team, I have started writing up my process for creating printed books through Lulu. Some steps may need to be modified if Olivier or someone else takes this over who does not use a Mac. I will explain.
I do the printed books in a 6x9-inch size, not the full A4 of the PDFs. This is to save printing costs and thus the cost to purchasers. Lulu requires a book file (PDF) to be provided in the selected page size, so I have to create a suitable file. It is quick and easy to do on a Mac: I use the Mac's built-in Preview app to "print" the original A4 PDF to a PDF with a 6x9-inch page size. I do not know what the equivalent method may be on Windows or Linux. I may have asked this question here before, but I do not recall the answer (if any). Of course, someone else could avoid that step and produce the books full-size (A4) and purchasers would have to pay the extra printing cost (probably double) and postage cost. Thoughts? (There are some other issues to consider, which are unrelated to the page size. I will mention them in separate notes.)
