Aren't you describing Lulu but for the very niche case of arxiv publications that are small books but not published as books? I think you could do it in a weekend with their API.
- mnky9800n 2y agoyes thats what i thought after the post. haha.
- ivansavz 2y agoIf anyone is interested in trying this, here is some Python starter code you might find useful: https://github.com/minireference/lulu-api-client?tab=readme-ov-file#usage https://github.com/minireference/lulu-api-client?tab=readme-... This worked four years ago when the API was still launched, but there might have been changes since, so no guarantees. Most ArXiv PDFs are probably lulu-printable out of the box, but to make a general solution, one would probably need to do some pre-processing with ghostscript (gs), e.g. embed all fonts and flatten images (no transparency).
