About PDF Booklet
Booklet printing puts two pages side by side on each sheet in a special order, so when you print both sides, stack the sheets and fold them in the middle, the pages read in sequence.
Use it for programmes, zines, manuals and small brochures. The page count is filled up to a multiple of four with blank pages when needed.
Printing the booklet
- Print double-sided and choose “flip on short edge”.
- Keep the sheets in the order they come out of the printer.
- Fold the stack in half and staple along the fold.
Page order
For an 8-page document, the first sheet holds pages 8 and 1 on the front and 2 and 7 on the back, the second sheet 6 and 3, then 4 and 5. You don’t need to work this out; the tool does it for you.

Questions
How do I print it?
Print double-sided and choose “flip on short edge”. Then stack the sheets in order and fold them in half.
Why were blank pages added?
Each folded sheet holds four pages, so the total is rounded up to a multiple of four.
Which paper size should I use?
Use the same paper size as the original pages, turned to landscape. A4 pages printed this way give an A5 booklet.
