Hi Tim,

To do what you want, the only way I can imagine is creating a Layer with
two geometry columns for coverage. The first column would be a "normal"
geometry column and could be used by atlas to provide the left page
iteration. The second column could be stored in WKT, and using the data
defined overwrite on the extent options to provide the right page iteration.

The problem is that the coverage layer would need to be carefully
(manually) crafted to create the odd and even pages. It would need to
titeBesides, for the right page you would not be able to use atlas
variables.

I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to create all the individual pages
normally using reports (to add static pages), export to PDF, and then
create a booklet from it. I bet there are tools for that.

For what I could gather, this kind of work is called creating a booklet, or
page imposition. There is a python library to work with that:

Best regards,

Alex Neto
