Can you please elaborate what exactly is not working for you? I did a rescaling and a crop in a single go and got the expected result, ie a page that was scaled and cropped. Both operations are relative, so I don't see how something could ever be off. |
You are correct that you can do both operations at once. My thinking was that you would want to do the operations one at a time so that you can keep track of what's going on more easily. (I certainly like to do the operations one at a time and inspect the intermediate result.)
This assumption would be correct if the user didn't have the option to input the new width manually. They can, so they might want to subtract a certain width rather than scale. Let's say your document starts at 210 mm. If you want to subtract 10 mm and add a 10% left margin, then you can have a margin length of either Though maybe this is an edge case :) |
I agree, it would be nice to have a checkbox to preserve page dimension when creating a booklet. |
When I have an A4 pdf document and I create a booklet, the result is A3. This really confused me when I printed it as I was expecting to get an A4 booklet - I have to admit, I expected to get an A4 because this is the behaviour in the printing dialogue of Adobe Acrobat.
IMO it's more intuitive to get an A4 booklet out of A4 papers so this should be changed. But this is just my opinion.
In any case, I did not find a way to easily change the paper size from A3 to A4 within pdfarranger - I had to do it with some ghostcript script. I think such a functionality should be added to pdfarranger.
