With photocomposition capability, the process is fully automated: - Copy the PDF file, in A4, A5, A6, or A7 format, ISO or US, into the 'In Folio' app documents. - On a Mac, you can copy the file by dragging and dropping its icon onto the “In Folio” icon - Select the print paper format (A4 or A3, ISO or US). - Request “PhotoComposer.” - Print the file without having to do anything other than check the double-sided mode and print orientation. Printing is performed without any loss of resolution from the original document.
