About this tool

Booklet printing needs pages in a surprising order: on a folded sheet, the last page sits next to the first. This tool works out that imposition for you, placing two pages side by side on each landscape sheet and padding the document so the page count is a multiple of four.

Print the result double-sided (flip on the short edge), fold the stack in half, and you have a booklet that reads from front to back. It is the practical way to turn a programme, menu, zine or short manual into something you can staple.

What it's good for

  • Printing an event programme that folds into an A5 booklet from A4 sheets.
  • Producing a short manual or recipe booklet at home.
  • Making a folded handout for a workshop.
  • Turning a zine layout into printable spreads.

Features

  • Automatic imposition

    Standard saddle-stitch ordering is calculated for you.

  • Automatic padding

    Blank slots are added so the sheet count works out.

  • Scales to fit

    Each page is scaled to fit its half of the sheet, centred.

  • Any page count

    Documents that are not a multiple of four are handled correctly.

Questions people ask

Which print setting do I use?
Double-sided, flip on the short edge, and scale set to 100% or 'actual size'.
Why are some halves blank?
Booklets need a page count divisible by four, so up to three blank slots are added at the end.
Can I use mixed page sizes?
It works best with one consistent page size; mixed sizes are scaled to fit the first page's dimensions.
