problem with cropping and alignment

Post by tap3ah »

Hi
I'm trying to make a layout suitable for two-side printing and cutting. I used geometry package with these parameters:

Code: Select all

a4paper,
paperwidth=210mm,
paperheight=297mm,
bindingoffset=1cm,
layoutwidth=178mm,
layoutheight=235.5mm,
layouthoffset=0mm,
layoutvoffset=0mm,
includeheadfoot,
ignoremp,
textwidth=148mm,
textheight=215.5mm,
top=0.5cm,
bottom=0.5cm,
inner=2cm,
outer=1cm,
showcrop
The content inside the crop marks is fine but both odd and even pages are aligned to the left.

How can I align the page content to different sides (or both in the middle) so I can cut the paper after printing.

You forgot the most important part: which document class are you using?

For example,

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside, openany]{book}
might do precisely what you want.

I'm using book. openany doesn't work, but I got the answer: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... -alignment.
Thanks anyway.
