How about using an open source DTP application? Say KWord? Or Scribus
if KWord functionality is not adequate to the desired result. I'm
pretty green with KWord, so I don't know if it can produce a pdf such
as kde_booklet. Scribus certainly can.

This is kde-promo. I don't feel good about promoting one of the strong
proprietary software oligopolists. Especially when open source
alternatives are so close at hand.
