For Extraterrestrial Zine Fair 2026, I'm using paged.js.
There are 2 reason for using paged.js instead of weasyprint. First, The Internet Phone Book used paged.js and I'm a big fan of Elliott Cost. Second, paged.js supports nth-child unlike weasyprint. This page is the documentation of making a zine using paged.js.
Title: Tangled Thoughts(TBD)
During the winter break, I spent time drawing tangled threads. I've been weirdly obsessed with these shapes. I think it reflects how chaotic my mind is currently, but also it is quite satisfying to draw and color them. With the gathered drawings, I'd like to compile them together using paged.js instead of Indesign. It is a good practice to move away from Adobe, although I'm still using Photoshop to edit the drawings.
Working Process
Step 1. File Setup
I used Paged.js as a polyfill in web browsers as it is easy to design looking at the results live through the browser.
Step 2. Design with CSS
This is the fun part! Using html and css to designing the zine.
- Set the page size and margin
- Set page order using pagebreak
- Aligning element
Step 3. Make PDF
If you're ready to print, make it into a pdf. The total number of pages must be a multiple of four.
- cmd/ctrl + p to download the pdf.
- pdfbook for Imposition
Step 4. Print and bind them together
For my pencil drawings, printing from the free printer would not be an option. The image resolution is bad. I'll have to use the printers from the print station...
Final Output
