Hi! Well, although there are a lack of updating about the info of EasyPose, it was produced a book (ok, it was small page number - 88 -, but it went good for testing). The workflow we saw it was better to be used was:
- Typing the text, formating the pages (mirrored even and odd), spell check and pagination with OpenOffice Writer: It has great tools for that and can export the complete PDF file. If the aim is a book with a huge number of pages, it is quite simple. - Creating the Sleeve on Scribus Importing the colored images without concerning their color space (since pdf output does the job for cmyk, spotcolors and so), mixing objects to produce the sleeve at the same size of the pages, dont worring about trimming marks or printing control objects, like registration an color charts. - Creating the plates on EasyPose For profissional (or not) finishing, one must order the pages so the folding and trimming methods can be determinated, depending on the system it is going to be printed. That's the function of EasyPose (soon avaliable natively in english). Personal control symbols, page thickness compensation, auto-reordering for Booklet finishing, Special marks to easily locate the binding order. Saving the project as a template or even as a Service Menu to be rightclicked and applied over further pdfs (O_o). Extra features that are on the way are: Special printing at the sides of the books & Automatic sleeve So, the project was created that way and it worked just fine, without minor or major problems... OpenOffice for the the book, Scribus for the sleeve and EasyPose for the page ordering and finishing issues. I'm working on the translation correctly, so the natural language of easypose is to be turned to english, speed improvements and major bug corrections. Sourceforge is not responding to my requests, so I'll put it on a differrent opensource repository, wich is not a problem at all... regards youl all!!
