I cannot figure out how to get the equiv of Acrobat reader to print a pdf in booklet format.
That is to print 2 pages per side, double-sided but in an order that you just staple along the middle and have a booklet.
I am using F38 and Xfce.
I have Okular, Atril, and Xfce's pdf viewer.
Anyone experienced with this?
thanks.

My search foo is weak....
That said, I now have a pdf that looks like it is in booklet format.
When I went to use document viewer, I could not figure out how to print in the right orientation.
Any hints?
flip on top? Not side?
I think I got it to reverse order and flip on short edge.

Sorry to jump on this thread a bit late, but I have been using Libreoffice' brochure feature for that purpose: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/lo/text/swriter/guide/print_brochure.htm...
Even if you didn't write your original text with LO, you can load a multipage PDF to LO's draw module and print it as a brochure from there. KP

I'm using Бумага/boomaga for similar things: https://www.boomaga.org/
It can be used both as virtual printer or standalone program. Not sure, when it run under Wayland, I'm using MATE only (where in "Office" menu): [Desktop Entry] Exec=boomaga %U Icon=boomaga Categories=Qt;Office; MimeType=application/x-boomaga-boo; ...
Fedora 38 include boomaga-3.3.0 version. From package description:
Boomaga (BOOklet MAnager) is a virtual printer for viewing a document before printing it out using the physical printer. The program is very simple to work with. Running any program, click "print" and select "Boomaga" to see in several seconds (CUPS takes some time to respond) the Boomaga window open. If you print out one more document, it gets added to the previous one, and you can also print them out as one. Regardless of whether your printer supports duplex printing or not, you would be able to easily print on both sides of the sheet. If your printer does not support duplex printing, point this out in the settings, and Booklet would ask you to turn over the pages half way through printing your document.
The program can also help you get your documents prepared a bit before printing. At this stage Boomaga makes it possible to:
* Paste several documents together. * Print several pages on one sheet. * 1, 2, 4, 8 pages per sheet * Booklet. Folding the sheets in two, you'll get a book. --- HTH, Franta Hanzlik
