In the German forum section, someone suggested the possibility of printing separate chapters out of a document in booklet format. Something that is not possible in Papyrus at present.
Those that didn't see much light in this probably don't do much booklet printing, but I really support this idea. I have several long documents where each chapter sometimes has to be printed separately in booklet format, and it is a pity not being able to use the otherwise so outstanding printing options in Papyrus. Now I first have to make it into a pdf-file and print in Adobe Reader, where it is possible to print a single chapter of a document. Ok then, someone may say, just continue to do that.
However, that is not as easy as it sounds.
First of all the print result from a pdf file is smaller for some reason, you have to resize it to about 105% and when you then fold it the margins no longer fit together with the opposite side. So you have to move the text left or right before printing, and you cannot do that in Adobe Reader, like in Papyrus. This also means I cannot even use Papyrus when I make pdf-files as its own pdf-file generator doesn't respond to the up and down, left and right values in the printing options. So I have to use PDF995 which responds to the displacement functions in papyrus' printing options (left or right, up and down).
Besides the keyboard shortcuts in Papyrus printing menu are not the same as in Adobe, and the paper orientation in the printer has to be the other way round. All this makes it a bit confusing when you constantly have to switch between the two (Adobe and Papyrus.)
So, I would like to suggest the possibility of printing chapter-wise in booklet format is added to the otherwise so OUTSTANDING printing options in Papyrus. You should have two options, really: 1)The present one (default), printing "document-wise" 2) Printing chapter-wise, i.e. the possibility of printing a separate chapter out of a document.
And even if I am not a programmer (or maybe because of that :) I think this should be easy to implement, as it only has to do with the arrangement of pages in the printer spooler, and not with the program itself.

P.S. As Adobe, one of the leading software makers in the world, gives the possibility of printing separate chapters in booklet format, they probably do so because they know most people want to have it that way. Still, sometimes it may be necessary to print "document-wise" as well. So what I mean is to combine the best from two worlds, Adobe and Papyrus!
