Ratings and Reviews
It works, but use 5.5” x 8.5” (Instructions are wrong)
It works fine, now problem. But the instructions say to make the page 5.5” x 11”. This is wrong and won’t work. 5.5” x 8.5” does work.
Great little app, even does signatures
I downloaded it and it worked great. Simple and intuitive. I would think most word processors and or duplex printers should have this built in, but as they don’t, this program is just the ticket.
My only complaint is with the description in the App store. The screen shot shows something that would let you intuit all the features, but the text description should mention things like “signatures of any size” in addition to the screen shot, which I only noticed when writing this sentence (after I had already bought the app).
In summary though, well done implementation of a very narrow but very important feature. Worth the price.
Did exactly what I needed - many thanks!
Once you see what the plan is: format word processing document appropriately, save to PDF, open or print from this app - it does exactly what it says it will. It does it so quickly that I didn't mind if I needed to go back to the word processing part to re-do or fix something because the process was so fast. It took WAY longer to get my printer to cooperate for doing the two-sided copying, LOL.
In the old days when cutting and pasting involved scissors and rubber cement, we'd make a little scrap paper mockup just showing the page placements so the print version would come out with the pages in the right order. This is what I've always wished Word or Pages would do, but it's probably better than if it was incorporated in either of those.
It's not such a big deal to figure out how four pages should be laid out to print correctly in booklet form, but to do more than a handful of pages in a word processing or page layout software is just too silly.
My only wish for future feature would be for a wider range of outputted paper sizes.
