There is this book i want to print (see [Birds press](https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/~kamo/projects/birds-press/), but the pages are already coupled 2 by 2 and so the booklet printing doesn't work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This script uses [pypdf2](https://pypdf2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/cropping-and-transforming.html) to crop and transform the a4 horizontal pages of the pdf into 2 a5 vertical ones.

Good way to procrastinate eh

## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First install the requirements (actually just PyPDF2)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script takes a `input.pdf` and gives out a `output.pdf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run the code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`python3 zac.py`
|
