A JS application to format PDFs for bookbinding, based on Bookbinder, rewritten to use PDF-Lib as its backend library. Like Bookbinder, it is licensed under the Mozilla Public License.
Go to the project page to use the app online - saving a complete copy of the webpage will enable you to load it locally without a web connection, too.
A very helpful guide on page size given layout and paper selection has been created and can be found HERE.

npm install
webpack build
And load index.html in any modern web browser.
In the /docs directory:
- There's 3 sample PDFs (and the
.texfiles to generate them) in landscape/portrait/square proportions filled with lorum ipsum and colored backgrounds to help test the positioning of the layouts. - There's a basic PDF with just the numbers 1-120 writ large, used for figuring out page ordering.
- A basic export of the different layouts with proportional/snug settings have been recorded for comparison/reference as well as several shots of
centeredsettings. These can be found in the/docs/examplesfolder.
