Convert several documents with one page into one document with 4 file per page: Some files appear in wrong order

Open Johann-Tree opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I use this great tool to convert the shipping labels from DHL which I get as a private customer in A4 format, with each label as a separate file. Only half the page is needed on the parcel. The final PDF has 4 shipping labels per page. To only have the needed half of the page from each file I use rotation and horizontal & vertical shift.

Today I discovered that

  • on page 1 PDF files 3 and 4 are interchanged,
  • on page 2 PDF files 6 and 7 are interchanged. On the third page, the files are in the correct order!

For this purpose, this bug is not a problem but it might be under other circumstances. See here the screenshots taken of the previews: page-1 page-2 page-3

This is the project file I used (.txt added to be able to upload here, remove to use the file): DHL-PDF-Paketmarken_kombinieren-4_auf_A4-.ini

The input PDFs and the output PDF: input-1.pdf input-2.pdf input-3.pdf input-4.pdf input-5.pdf input-6.pdf input-7.pdf input-8.pdf input-9.pdf input-10.pdf input-11.pdf input-12.pdf output.pdf

Thanks for reporting, you are right, this is an old bug never fixed. The main problem of PdfBooklet is that unfortunately, I no longer find time to develop it. This is a pity because it could be improved. I'll see if I can fix this.
