This is so cool, love her expression

I absolutely feel you on that. If i could escape it completely I would but alas, work 😭😭😭 sorry I couldnt be of more help with this bit of the process but feel free to DM me if you have questions for other stuff!

Not free (unfortunately) but you can download the trial for a week for when youd want to print and then delete it after the run is done if its something thats going to be more sporatic and less of a regular basis

(2/2) that you can print both sides on and select the side you want to bind on, which I've used a lot in the past and had a lot of success with for personal zine's and scripts and stuff. It does print horizontal tho, so that would be something to keep in mind for sizing

Oooooo i getcha getcha. I can think of a couple ways to do that depending on if youre starting from 'scratch' or of you already have the pdf laid out the way you want. The easiest that comes to mind for PDFs ready to print is Adobe Acrobat, which has a 'booklet' print setting (1/2)

What formatting issues are you having? I do freelance production editing work and may be able to help
