How to print this: Print double-sided using "Flip on Short Edge" (not long edge) in your print dialog's duplex setting, then fold each sheet in half and staple along the fold.

Booklet order is different from reading order

PDF booklet imposition pairs early and late pages on landscape sheets so the sequence becomes correct after double-sided printing and folding. Two document pages are placed on each side. The total is padded to a multiple of four when necessary. Printer duplex behavior, paper orientation, scaling and binding direction vary, so print a short test before producing the full run.

Documents suited to simple booklet imposition

  • Print a short program, report or zine with a center fold
  • Create a compact handout without sending it to a print shop
  • Prepare pages for simple saddle-stitch binding
  • Lay out a small event program or folded menu

Frequently asked questions

Why does my page count get padded with blank pages?
Each physical sheet carries four document pages, two on each side, so the imposed total must be divisible by four. The tool adds blank pages at the end of the source sequence as needed; inspect the preview to see where they land after imposition.
Why "Flip on Short Edge" specifically?
For the landscape sheets produced here, short-edge duplex is the usual setting needed for the intended fold. Printer drivers describe and implement duplex options differently, however. Print one test sheet and confirm front-to-back orientation before running the booklet.
Is there a page limit?
There is no fixed page quota in the interface, but browser memory and physical binding impose practical limits. Paper thickness, creep and stapler capacity matter more as page count grows; “under 60 pages” is only a rough starting point, not a universal rule.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. JavaScript performs the imposition locally in your browser.
