FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does my PDF need to be a multiple of 4 pages for booklets?

Every physical sheet of paper folded in half yields exactly 4 booklet pages (front-left, front-right, back-left, back-right). The tool automatically adds blank padding pages if needed.

How should my printer settings be configured for booklets?

Set your printer to double-sided (duplex) printing with "flip on short edge" so pages back up correctly.

Can I make a booklet from a single-page or two-page document?

Yes. The tool pads the document to 4 pages so it can be folded and bound properly.
