How to: Create Booklet
- Select your PDF.
- Choose the sheet size (A4, Letter, A3).
- Download, print double-sided (flip on short edge), fold in the middle.
Booklet printing (saddle-stitch imposition) arranges pages so that, once printed double-sided and folded, they read in the right order. It is ideal for event programmes, zines, menus and small manuals – without professional layout software.
Common uses
- Print an event or wedding programme.
- Make a zine, newsletter or small catalogue.
- Create a pocket-size manual or study guide.
Tips for best results
- Print double-sided, flipping on the short edge, then fold in half.
- Page count is padded to a multiple of 4 with blank pages.
- A4 sheets give A5 booklets; Letter sheets give half-letter booklets.
How imposition works
Pages are rearranged so that sheet one carries the last and first pages, sheet two the second and second-to-last, and so on. After folding, everything reads in order.
