Pages in the right order
A booklet has four pages on every sheet – two on the front, two on the back – in the order that is right once the stack is folded. That is done for you.

See the finished booklet
Check the printed sheets or browse the finished booklet with its cover, spreads and back cover before you print.
Blank pages added for you
A booklet needs a multiple of four pages. Missing pages are added as blank pages – before the back cover, so the last page stays at the back.
Thick documents in several booklets
Many sheets fold badly. Split them into booklets of a few sheets each: they lie flatter and can be bound together.
A5 from A4, A4 from A3
Print on A4 for an A5 booklet, on A3 for A4 or on Letter for Half Letter – bound on the left or on the right, with extra space at the fold if you like.
Even without duplex
If your printer cannot print on both sides, print the front sides first, turn the stack over and print the back sides – we guide you step by step.
