You don't have to do everything in Scribus. I use pstools for building booklets. Here is my script for making a 8.5 x 11 booklet using 11x 17 paper. Been using it for years. It is called with the name of the ps file less the ps suffix. psbook $1.ps $1b.ps echo 'psnup' psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps echo 'psselect' psselect -o $1p.ps $1o.ps psselect -e -r $1p.ps $1e.ps #lpr $1o.ps #echo 'switch paper' #read x #lpr $1e.ps #rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
