BookSmart
Scientific Blurb book using LATEXI use LATEX on a Macintosh to produce print quality articles as pdf files and print/email these for dissemination to other scientists. LATEX allows me to typeset mathematical formulas etc easily – WORD is very poor at that. Can Blurb import LATEX files and typeset them up inside Blurb? If not, how do I take either single pdf pages or highlighted sections of pdf files and lay them out on a Blurb book page? They are not images. I want to move from writing scientific articles to produce whole mathematical books. Please help me.

Convert the PDF files to JPEGs ( http://www.print-driver.com/howto/convert_pdf_to_jpeg.html ), number them in exactly the same order you wish to have the pages in the book. Import the JPEGs in to BookSmart, and and use BookSmart’s Autoflow option to automatically bring in the JPEGs, one per page, full bleed. |
