I have a very simple question, I hope I'm not on the wrong board.I have a book in pdf form (pic related) and I want to print it out and bind it, but I want to move the text of the left pages to the left and the text of the right pages to the right. How do I do that? I downloaded Foxit PDF Editor but it doesn't have that option.
>>454556theres no really a clean way to do that, so really its not an easy question. is each page of the pdf file a spread like pic rel or is each page of the book its own page?is the file all pixels (images of pages) or is it selectable text still?
I'd probably start by getting the PDF into InDesign, making sure the pages are laid out correctly, and then try setting up a script that moves content for each odd and even page.Quick look at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/scripting.html makes me believe it won't be too hard of a job

>>454563actually i think you could likely right a script (or use the script writer in Ps that copies your steps), in phooshop, that 1 loads image/pdf. 2 uses two selection boxes to crop each side (capturing each text page evenly. 3 exports each selection as ither image or pdf. after that you could use indesign, illustrator or photoshop to drop all those into a series of layouts. doable.
>>454556looks like it's a scanned pdf, imagemagick can easily do what you need, if you have trouble scripting ask chatgpt
Well, one solution would be to use Paged.js, which is not as hard as it seems desu, can use the css variables @left-page { text-align : left}@right-page { text-align : right}or something similar
>>454556Image to text app. Copy and paste it in whatever program
