Hey there everyone!

I am back with another update to my free PDF conversion tool called EnBooken. To cut to the chase, the major functionality change to this update is having the option to export your PDF in Duplex or Non-Duplex Modes.

I have a non-duplex printer, so I needed to perform this weird splitting up thing on my exported PDF booklets in Adobe Acrobat to print the odd pages first, return the paper back to my printer, then print the even pages. This added a lot of manual effort, and room for human error. So I added the functionality to EnBooken directly!

There is now a page/print setup screen to select your paper size and to select duplex or non-duplex printing options. This will change the output from a single PDF for duplex printing to two PDF's for non-duplex (the odd pages and the even pages).

NOTE: The Even pages are automatically reversed in order! Print the odd pages first, move the paper back to the print tray exactly as they are in the output tray, then print the even pages. I suggest doing a few small test prints with this first to get a feel for how it works!

I am trying to work out a good way to "tutorialize" this, anyone have any suggestions?
