Hi :) I think Manuel has solved the problem using Brian's advice.
Many thanks, apols and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Tom Davies <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; [email protected] Cc: Brian Barker <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 18 September 2013, 12:54 Subject: [HOW] impagination like a BOOK? Hi :) Please could someone on the Italian Users Mailing List (or equivalent) please pass this question on to them so that Manuel can ask the questions in his own language. I am only guessing he is Italian from his email address ".it". Manuel; You can create a Pdf directly from Draw. You can probably print Pdf by just double-click on the file to open it and then choose File - Print You don't need "freeware virtual pdf printer" and freeware is unlikely to work in openSuSE anyway. To create a Pdf from Draw just use File - "Export to Pdf" Even easier is to ignore Pdf and just print directly from Draw. In Draw it is just File - Print A brochure is usually an A4 page on it's side (landscape mode rather than portrait) and then either folded in half or into 3. When folded into 3 it's often called a "gate-fold leaflet". When folded in 2 a single A4 page becomes A5 but now has 4 sides (front, back and 2 in the middle). To do either properly is best done using a template or careful layout. I did an imperfect one just using Format - Columns So that the A4 page had 2 columns, one for each side. First column being the back page, 2nd being the front and on the next A4 page it was page 2 and then page 3. So it all flowed neatly from the first page, except the final page which i had to cut&paste from the end to put it before page 1. That was "good enough" at the time but many people have much better and often easier ways. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: Brian Barker <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 18 September 2013, 8:31 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] [HOW] impagination like a BOOK? hello my document is libreoffice DRAW, this can does "brochure"? my size A4 to brochure (from tools or from print dialogue) right? i'm curiosity what is freeware virtual pdf printer? my distro OPENSUSE 12.3 with KDE 4.10, let me know as soon because today i need to print ufficial but before i need try to virtual pdf ok? ________________________________ Da: Brian Barker <[email protected]> A: [email protected] Inviato: Martedì 17 Settembre 2013 15:12 Oggetto: Re: [libreoffice-users] [HOW] impagination like a BOOK?

Yes: LibreOffice does this very efficiently. It's weird that this web page suggests an exceedingly complicated way of doing what LibreOffice does natively! >if YES then how do for libreoffice? That's exactly the "brochure" facility that I described in response to your previous enquiry. To print an A5 booklet on (folded) A4 paper: o Set your page format in LibreOffice Writer to A5 and Portrait - so it is the actual format that you want in the finished document. o Set your printer's settings to A4 and Landscape - as the printing will actually be. o Either: Tick Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | Print | Pages | Brochure Or (on the fly): In the Print dialogue, tick Options... | Pages | Brochure. As before, if possible install a (freeware?) virtual PDF printer, so that you can experiment with the technique without wasting paper. I trust this helps.
