[Tex/LaTex] Booklets in memoir class

book-designmemoirprinting

I was just reading this question about using pdfpages to create twoup effects in memoir. This worked great for me, but I am wondering how I can get the page order to set up a booklet, so that it can be folded in half with correct pagination. I never got the booklet code to work. Any idea?

Best Answer

The pdfpages package provides an easy way to arrange the pages of a PDF file so that it can be printed as a booklet. For two A5 pages arranged on an A4 landscape paper, the correct choice of options is

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-,booklet,landscape]{document.pdf}
\end{document}

More information, e.g. on splitting the booklet into several signatures, can be found in the package documentation.

[Tex/LaTex] Is it possible to use hyperref, subfigure, and memoir together

Please provide an example where it is not working? This seems to work for me:

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\newsubfloat{figure}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \subtop[Sub~a.]{Foo\label{subfig:a}}\qquad
  \subtop[Sub~b.]{Bar\label{subfig:b}}
  \caption{First.}
\end{figure}

\clearpage

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \subtop[Sub~c.]{Baz\label{subfig:c}}\qquad
  \subtop[Sub~d.]{Foobar\label{subfig:d}}
  \caption{Second.}
\end{figure}

\clearpage
\noindent
Main: \ref{subfig:a} Sub: \subcaptionref{subfig:a}\\
Main: \ref{subfig:b} Sub: \subcaptionref{subfig:b}\\
Main: \ref{subfig:c} Sub: \subcaptionref{subfig:c}\\
Main: \ref{subfig:d} Sub: \subcaptionref{subfig:d}

\end{document}

You can even use the \autoref from hypreref if you like.

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\newsubfloat{figure}

\providecommand*{\subfigureautorefname}{Subfig.}

\begin{document}

\noindent
\autoref{fig:1} on page \pageref{fig:1} contains two subfigures, 
\autoref{subfig:a} \& \subcaptionref{subfig:b}.

\clearpage

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \subtop[Sub~a.]{Foo\label{subfig:a}}\qquad
  \subtop[Sub~b.]{Bar\label{subfig:b}}
  \caption{First.}\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Setting up pdfpages with memoir

I don't know memoir jargon, but if I understood you correctly, you want to insert a PDF that stretches to the normal \textwidth on an otherwise empty page. This can be achieved by defining a customized page style (unless redefined, plain would include a page number) and using the \includegraphics options width and height, which are passed on by pdfpages.

As pointed out by @egreg, with memoir and no pagestyle customizations needed, rather \thispagestyle{empty} should be used. Further, graphicx provides a parameter keepaspectratio which ensures that if both width and height of the PDF are specified, it is scaled such that the aspect ratio is kept and neither width nor height are exceeded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\fancypagestyle{mystyle}{%
    \fancyhf{}%                             %clear headers, footers
    \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}%     %and remove header rule
}

\begin{document}


\includepdf[pages=1,
            pagecommand={\thispagestyle{empty}}, %is default, only mentioned to show alternative usage of customized mystyle
            width=\textwidth,
            height=\textheight,     
            keepaspectratio,
            frame]{yourfile.pdf}            
\end{document}
