How does the Thesis Binding Prep Check work?
Audit a thesis PDF for hardbound-binding readiness. The tool checks page-size consistency (most binders require all pages to be the same size), total page count (most binderies have minimums and maximums), document title metadata, and bookmark presence. Margin compliance is flagged for visual verification because pdf-lib cannot introspect text positions on the page — your job is to confirm the binding-edge margin (typically 1.5 inches on the left) and other margins (typically 1 inch) match your bindery's requirements. Run this audit before sending to the bindery to avoid expensive reprints.
