Print or lay out pechas and booklets
A pecha is a loose-leaf Tibetan book: long, narrow pages held between boards. Printing one at home means getting the pages in the right order and size; laying one out means setting long Tibetan lines in a program built for a different kind of page.
Some tools below prepare existing PDFs for printing. Others automate the repetitive work of laying out pechas and booklets.
