Nancy, What I do is copy each individual leaf into one big pdf file using preview (on my mac) and then print to a pdf file selecting layout "2 per page" on A4. Then I take it to the print shop and have it printed double sided on think paper with a ring binder. That way you end up with a nice edition to play from, 4 lute pages per open book, like Tree Edition do on some of their facsimile editions.
Creating the big pdf is a bit of process, Basically select around each page (leaf) just inside all the edges etc.. and then paste into preview and save as a pdf. You have to do this for each leaf and then you can easily drop each one into one big pdf using preview. Just open the first one, make sure you have the thumbnails view on, then you sequentially drag and drop each page's thumbnail into the first file, one by one. Dragging and dropping thumbnail to thumbnail in preview combines the pages, provided they are all PDFs in the first place (which is why you need to save each one individually in the first place). Once you have a big file with all the pages, save it first, then print / layout / pages per sheet 2 / and then click PDF in the left and save as pdf. It also helps to copy and save a blank leaf. Just grab one from the beginning or the end. You can insert it wherever a piece starts half way down a page and goes over to the next page. Inserting it before the piece will force the piece to start over the page. This takes a little time but worth it in the long run. This all assumes you have a mac, I don't know how you would do it on windows unless you owned Adobe pdf professional. Cheers, Andrew On 15/08/2011, at 6:04 AM, Nancy Carlin wrote: > Yes, thank you.
