RE: Looking for an Easier Booklet

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Warning! ClickBook may be "clever" but it will kill any EPS graphics
you may have. It works by acting as the primary printer driver and
rearranging the pages of GDI and then passing the results along to
the "real" printer driver. Problem is that ClickBook does not and
cannot report itself to the application as a "PostScript" driver and
as such, EPS graphics come through FUBAR (i.e., the low resolution
TIFF preview header at best).

Best alternative that I know of is to create your document with the
logical pages, create PDF, and then in Acrobat, using an imposition
plugin, such as Quite Imposing or Quite Imposing Plus <http://www.quite.com/>
create a booklet. This is a close to professional grade page imposition
you can get at a reasonable price. Although priced much more than $49.95,
the $49.95 package will quite often not do what you need done.
