Printing in booklet format

Use pdfbook from texlive-extra-utils

1. Install texlive-extra-utils:
   sudo apt-get install texlive-extra-utils
2. Then run pdfbook:
   pdfbook [pdf file]

This will output a pdf file that is in the form of a booklet.

I found a solution. I installed PDF XChange Viewer for Windows (running through Wine). It has booklet format printing option that works well.

Another option native to Ubuntu is to install Adobe Reader for Linux. It has booklet format printing as well. Install Acrobat Reader on Ubuntu

EDIT

An even better option that I just found out about is a package called bookletimposer.

I installed Boomaga from Ubuntu 16.04's repository. It solves all the problems, and dependencies from Acrobat Reader (now unsupported in GNU/Linux). It works with any installed printer.

It works very well and opens quickly with perfect render.

sudo apt install boomaga
