How to install pdfBooklet-2.2.2 taz.gz in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I'm new to Ubuntu and a layman in regard to computers in general so I need detailed information on how to install "pdfBooklet-2.2.2 tar.gz" to my machine using the terminal.

I tried the existing procedure but didn't work for me.

How should I proceed?

Solution 1:

PdfBooklet is a pyGTK utility to create booklets and other layouts from PDF documents. PdfBooklet can also merge files, extract pages, rotate and scale pages.

Installation in Ubuntu 14.04/16.04

1. Go to ppa:ferramroberto/lffl webpage.

2. Click the hyperlink that says: View package details.

3. Click the arrow to the left of the pdfbooklet - 2.2.2-2~lffl~trusty package to unfold the package's information.

4. Download the pdfbooklet_2.2.2-2~lffl~trusty_all.deb file.

5. Double-click the .deb file that you downloaded to open it for installation in the Software application.

6. The .deb file has two dependencies: python-poppler and python-gtk2. These dependencies will also be installed automatically from the default Ubuntu repositories when you install PdfBooklet.

Installation in Ubuntu 12.04

The installation is the same as for Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 except that instead of pdfbooklet - 2.2.2-2~lffl~trusty select pdfbooklet - 2.2.2-2~lffl~precise and download its .deb file.
