Automated PDF PDF conversion

Function:

Paperight’s PDF-PDF conversion software allows us to automate the creation of a Paperight PDF, formatted for watermarking, using a PDF supplied by a publisher. White space from original input PDF is removed/reduced (ideally to bounding box). Original input PDF is scaled so that the height and width fit into the Paperight PDF layout. Cropped and scaled original PDF is then injected into the Paperight PDF layout, with the new page centered:

• 1-up: Centre of page
• 2-up: Centre of page, divided by 2.

All empty pages are removed.
