I would like to thanks Nicolas Bernaerts for sharing on his GitHub repository the script to generate a booklet from a PDF file. This script was written for Ubuntu but it also work on Debian.
First of all, download the script and give it execution permission:
wget --header='Accept-Encoding:none' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NicolasBernaerts/ubuntu-scripts/master/pdf/generate-booklet-install.sh
chmod +x generate-booklet-install.shIf you use Debian, you must edit the installation script:
sed -i 's/Ubuntu/Debian/g' generate-booklet-install.sh
Run the installation:
./generate-booklet-install.shIt will add to your file manager an option to generate a booklet. Right click on any PDF file, choose Generate Booklet, then A4 and print with "Long edge stapling".
Your booklet is ready!
Within a CI process, you might want to hold the process until service is starting up, this is how you can do with bash and curl
This is no joke, you might want to neutralize your Linux system, learn how here.
