print pdf with "inside" margin offset
I have had great success converting EPUB to PDF using calibre, but I have a problem when supplying the file for book binding. In Page Setup you can specify all 4 margins to any size. For example, 36pts 36pts 36pts 36pts creates half inch margins all the way around. The book binder uses part of the 36 on inside margins, and text is obscured at the spine. If you compensate for this by using 72pts, then the inside text looks okay but now the outside margin is too wide. I was hoping someone could recommend a method for offsetting all odd numbered PDF margins. Would it be possible to add this to Page Setup?

top: 36pt
bottom: 36pt

odd:
left: 54pts
right: 36pts

even:
left: 36pts
right: 54pts

I have not been able to locate a utility which can do this.
Best Regards, Pop
