There are basically two ways to print texts in Pecha format from a PDF (provided that each folio is a single page in the PDF document)

1. Customising the print settings

• Printing multiple folios on a single page can easily be done through customising the print settings (choose size, folios per page)

Remarks - printing multiple folios on one page as traditional upside-down Pecha in duplex mode is not possible due to the distorted folio pagination - the original page size gets automatically reduced when printing multiple folios on a single page!

2. Re-organizing of the folio sequence

To print a traditional 2-sided, upside-down Pecha from a PDF document can be achieved by rearranging the folio sequence with additional software like the....

A) BDRC Pecha printer

• software to generate a PDF for Pecha-printout (2-sided, upside-down, duplex print, A4 or A3 size)
• download from GitHub: "པར་གཞི་སྒྲིག་ཆས། Pecha Printer":https://github.com/buda-base/pecha-printer (accessed: 2021-03-29)

Remarks - images resized (scaled to 300 dpi), reordered and rearranged

B) PDFill

• can create a PDF to print multiple folios on a landscape page (duplex printing; different sizes)
• see detailed instructions under "Pecha printing with Windows":http://digitaltibetan.org/index.php/Pecha_printing_with_Windows (accessed: 2021-03-29)

Remarks - folios images not resized

Example: 2 folios on A4 landscape page (duplex)

1. split/reorder pages" add sequence (e.g. for 20 folios): 1,3,4,2,5,7,8,6,9,11,12,10,13,15,16,14,17,19,20

2. "reformat multiple folios" into one page

This post introduces two free applications that we recently tested for searching through the Tibetan Unicode text corpora that have kindly been made available by "ACIP":https://asianclassics.org/library/downloads/, "BDRC zenodo":https://zenodo.org/record/821218#.Xu5IOOdYxld, "BDRC OpenPecha":https://github.com/OpenPecha/openpecha-catalog, "Esukhia":https://github.com/Esukhia/Corpora, "buddhism.ru":https://bit.ly/3fJ0u93 and others. Each application has its own advantages and shortcomings as regards usability and performance, also they return different search results.

1) "Docfetcher":http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html (accessed: 2020-06-20)

• desktop search application for Windows, Linux and OS X (open source)
• supports txt files and many other document formats, but no xml (those files need to be renamed into txt files before creating the index)
• index-based search
• search in "quotation marks"

2) "AntConc":https://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/ (accessed: 2020-06-20)

• corpus analysis toolkit for concordancing and text analysis for Windows, Linux and OS X (freeware)
• supports txt, html and xml files (hide tags-function)
• searches files live (performance slow, crashes frequently on macOS Catalina)
• particular settings for proper Tibetan display (font and font size) and search in Tibetan required; see "Esukhia, GitHub":https://github.com/Esukhia/Corpora/tree/master/Nanhai
• direct Tibetan input (searchbar) does not work under Windows 10 (copy paste search phrase)

h2. ཐུབ་པ་སངས་རྒྱས་བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་ཀྱི་མཚན་སྔགས།

གང་གི་ཐུགས་བརྩེ་ཉེར་བཟུང་ནས། །ལྟ་བ་ཐམས་ཅད་སྤང་པའི་ཕྱིར། །དམ་པའི་ཆོས་ནི་སྟོན་མཛད་པ། །གོ་ཏམ་དེ་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ། ། ཨོཾ་མུ་ནི་མུ་ནི་མཧཱ་མུ་ནི་ཡེ་སྭ་ཧཱ།

དགེ་བ་འདི་ཡིས་མྱུར་དུ་བདག་། སྟོན་པ་སངས་རྒྱས་འགྲུབ་གྱུར་ནས། །འགྲོ་བ་གཅིག་ཀྱང་མ་ལུས་པ། །དེ་ཡི་ས་ལ་འགོད་པར་ཤོག་།

h2. འཕགས་པ་སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས་ཀྱི་མཚན་སྔགས།

སྐྱོན་གྱིས་མ་གོས་སྐུ་མདོག་དཀར། །རྫོགས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱིས་དབུ་ལ་བརྒྱན། །ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཅན་གྱིས་འགྲོ་ལ་གཟིགས། །སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ། ། ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨ་ཧཱུཾ།

h2. ཨོ་རྒྱན་འབྱུང་བཞིའི་གསོལ་འདེབས།

ས་ཆུ་མེ་རླུང་འབྱུང་བའི་བར་ཆད་ས༔ སྒྱུ་ལུས་ཉེན་ཅིང་འཇིག་པའི་དུས་བྱུང་ཚེ༔ ཡིད་གཉིས་ཐེ་ཚོམ་མེད་པར་གསོལ་བ་འདེབས༔ ཨོ་རྒྱན་འབྱུང་བ་བཞི་ཡི་ལྷ་མོར་བཅས༔ འབྱུང་བ་རང་སར་ཞི་བར་ཐེ་ཚོམ་མེད༔ ཨོ་རྒྱན་པདྨ་འབྱུང་གནས་ལ་གསོལ་བར་འདེབས༔ བསམ་པ་ལྷུན་གྱིས་འགྲུབ་པར་བྱིན་གྱིས་རློབས།

the internet is nice and generous again! Almost the complete VOHD series is now freely availably, nicely digitized and searchable. Enjoy, if you did not encounter this repository already before.
