Yes, official files can not be print as a booklet, but unofficial files like ebooks, journals, articles, web pages etc. could be printed as booklet. It save paper and toner ink. So, today we will learn how to print files as booklet in Linux operating system.

Most of the printer driver support booklet printing in windows platform, but what about Linux? Yes there are some method. Though company did not provide any tweaks, you can still print booklet in Linux OS. There are several tweaks can be found on internet, but I discovered the easiest method. Printing a file in a booklet style can be done easily with acrobat reader in any linux platform.
